The Wrath of the Seas (by Ivan Aivazovsky) Stone Coaster

This design features a painting by Russian-born Armenian artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (Иван Константинович Айвазовский, 1817–1900), who is considered one of the greatest masters of marine art. The painting shows a stormy sea near a dark patch of rocks. Lightning is striking in the sky from behind heavy clouds. The waves are splashing against the high coast and flowing down the rocks. In the foreground of the painting is a boat carrying people trying to survive after a shipwreck. One of the survivors is pointing his hand towards the coast, while the others are desperately rowing in the hope of reaching it.
