Around 1850-1852, Aivazovsky entered the romantic phase of his artistic career. His colors became more romantic, the lights in Aivazovsky paintings became more nostalgic and mysterious, as in this ''Fishing Boats In A Harbor'', and the whole atmosphere of Aivazovsky 's themes conveyed intimacy in structure, dramatic dominance and an almost frightening human drama shared by men of the sea and its immense mysteries. Such romantic drama and lyrical expressions were graciously and predominantly expressed in many of Aivazovsky ' new works, to name a few: The Sea, 1853, The Storm, 1854, The Black Sea, 1881, The Tenth Wave, The Rainbow, 1873, The Shipwreck, 1876 and The Billow, 1889.
