This is an amazing original oil painting on canvas of the famous Brazilian-American Artist, Humberto da Silva Fernandes (1937-2005) depicting a Clipper Ship under Full Sail. The sea surrounds the ship with gentle waves lapping against the hull, and creating white foam. You might see the ship's hull cutting through the waves as it moves forward, leaving a wake behind it.
A sailing ship in the sea evokes a sense of adventure, freedom, and wonder, as well as the power and beauty of nature. It is a timeless image that has inspired artists and writers for centuries and continues to capture the imagination of people today.
