Can you help?I don't know the artist. It may be (or have been) owned by Bill Gates. It depicts 2 or 3 sailors in an open whaler going up against a HUGE dark wave into a dreary sea. The image has haunted me since I first saw it some years ago. It looks like it could be a Rembrandt, though I don't think it is. The style is similar. Very powerful image. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Bill Gates owns Winslow Homer's ~ Lost On The Grand Banks. He paid $36m for it in 1998. (see print) http://store.encore-editions.com/artists... Kissing The Moon 1904 is another good one. http://www.loftcam.com/grafix/homer/kiss... Joseph Mallord William Turner ~ Long Ship's Lighthouse, Land's End http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/arto...
