This substantial, nearly life-size painting offers an epic look at humanity in the guise of a mysterious nocturnal boat trip carrying a ship of souls. The cast of characters embraces a variety of ages including the artist himself rowing in the center. With its grand scale and somewhat dark mood, the work serves as a contemporary history painting, summoning up art-historical references, such as Gericault’s famous Raft of the Medusa of 1819 at the Louvre.
