Could Aivazovsky subscribe so?
 

Dear connoisseurs !

Here is an example of the proposed one antique salon Aivazovsky, where the signature is in doubt. Painting issued as 1850 -60s , the motive - no marina .
And such speculation : could unreasonable holder works for more " credibility " to take da maestro himself to sign ? She - a red-brown color .

It is a reasonable doubt. This signature does not belong Aivazovsky . As for the work itself , it questioned its authorship is the very fact that it is the seventh work twin claiming authorship Aivazovsky. I can show you on the forum page like fabric. They are in the following museums : Omsk Museum of Fine Arts , historical and architectural Velikoustiugskii thin. Museum, Chelyabinsk , TG , One work sold at Christie's auction in 1997. In 2011 , a similar clone was sold at Sotheby's , the only difference in size. So that picture , autograph which you showed the seventh . Concludes .

Brilliant! ..

Dear community ! Thank you for such a competent answer . But that's the kind of thing. When I created the topic, I slukavila that sells its antiquarian . The fact that the work , which is now in a hurry to be sold for the price of 1 million 400 dollars ( !) - From the collection of the E. Shahinian . Ie all this years winners of the 7th as much on account of only consoled themselves with the hope ? And what kinds of repeated repetitions Constantinople moonlit night (5) ? How do Nepolitanskogo with views of the bay, which is also on my mind a lot.

Excuse me, Nicholas, and where did you get such a high quality reproduction of the number 7 ?

Working for many years on the creation of the catalog of works by Aivazovsky , I try whenever possible to keep track of everything that is in museums, appears at auction , every move , but not my aim to commit the source.

And yet - you immediately , Nicholas realized , despite the appearance of only the signature frame work , what kind of work Aivazovsky question. And despite the fact that , apparently , the work described in the catalog in 1984 , despite the fact that its scenic quality , certainly not worse works sold at auction in 1997 and 1998 , you leave a lot of room for doubt. A signature - that, actually , it 's the catch? Maybe the letter i? Or absence of certain roscherkopodobnosti ? Maybe signature lacks the necessary slope and has no inherent speed of A. ?

I do not believe in the authenticity of the signature. Believe me, I went through more than one thousand autographs Aivazovsky, this autograph weak, timid and inept . And that work is marked number 7 , so it's only in my list , I just listed a similar work. Determine the authenticity of the picture is not grateful . On this there are experts who will look and give proper and paper . You have questioned the authenticity , I do not believe it .

Thank you!
I trust your experienced eye.
