The painting was painted a year after Aivazovsky painted his famous masterpiece «Ninth Shaft». «View to the shore of Yalta» - one of the earliest Crimean performances of the artist. Although there are a number of other city types, images from the east side are rare.
The church on the hill of Saint John Chrysostom, which was the first stone building in Yalta, was built in 1837. The location of the church meant that its three-tiered bell tower served as a navigational aid for sailors, which clearly liked the artist
