Homer 1836-1910 The Gulf Stream (1889 Oil on Canvas)


This was based on studies made during two winter trips to the Bahamas. A man lies helpless on the desk of a smallboat that has been seriously danmaged by a hurricane. Around him the turbulent sea and surrounding sharks are closing in , yet on the horizon a rigger can just be seen. indicating hope fo the future.
