About the Item
The whaling ship, Essex, in calm seas. On the reverse, the artist writes that—for wind-powered sailing ships—a day with no wind was feared almost as a storm.
The Essex is arguably the most famous Nantucket whaling ship in history. The Essex was a successul whaler during her carreer, but it was her unfortunate destruction by a sperm whale—and the unspeakable horrors that befell her crew afterward—that served as the inspiration for the first Great American Novel, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale.

- Colors in the WindBy Nicholas BergerLocated in Greenwich, CTNicholas Berger Biography American, b. 1949 In his more than three decades as an artist, Nicholas Berger (b. 1949) has created an outstanding body of work that continues to evolve and excite viewers. Best known for his industrial, waterfront scenes of New York between 1930-1970, Berger effortlessly captures a period when the technology and landscape of the city was rapidly changing. Although he paints scenes of a bygone era, Berger draws inspiration from the waterfronts near his home in New York’s Hudson River Highlands as well as historical sources in museums. Berger holds BFA and MFA degrees from Alfred University. Earlier in his career, the artist painted representational landscapes rendered in watercolor, a medium in which he achieved great success, sharing a sellout two-person show in Tokyo with Andrew Wyeth. In the mid-2000s, Berger transitioned to his signature industrial scenes of the city, employing oil on panel in a painterly manner influenced by the Hudson River and Brandywine schools...Category
