Its subject proved elusive, as the English novelist William Thackeray observed: \"That is not a smear of purple you see yonder, but a beautiful whale, whose tail has just slapped a half-dozen whale-boats into perdition; and as for what you fancied to be a few zig-zag lines spattered on the canvas at hap-hazard, look! they turn out to be a ship with all her sails.\" Apparently Turner undertook the painting—which was returned to him—for the collector Elhanan Bicknell, who had made his fortune in the whale-oil business.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437854\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Whalers\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Mallord William Turner","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887900762355,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (36 1\/8\" x 48 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887900795123,"sku":null,"price":2702.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 1\/2\" x 20 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887900827891,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19\" x 25 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887900860659,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 1\/4\" x 31 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887900893427,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30\" x 40 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887900926195,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (36\" x 48 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887900958963,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (42 3\/8\" x 56 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887900991731,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (50 7\/8\" x 68 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887901024499,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/Whalers.jpg?v=1783583338","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/whalers","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
