WHALERS, by Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1845
WHALERS, by Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1845, British painting, oil on canvas. Turner enveloped the principle players of the violent drama in sea waves, splashes and mist. The bloodied whale thrashes, whale boats are upended, as the ship floats in the middle ground. Turner minimized the solid objects and detail, and maximized the energy of the whale and water (BSLOC_2017_9_132)
