One of a two piece series (Moby Dick) inspired by Herman Melville's Moby Dick, explored in the same style as my Manor Farm paintings. If you're interested in this piece, please shoot me an email prior to purchasing to ensure availability.

"All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it."

- Herman Melville, Moby Dick
