This makes me think of The Iiliad/Odyssey phrase: Wine Dark Sea. This painting brings to life that phrase.

Now I want to see it IRL.

Like those fellas? Or in a bigger boat?

I was referring to the painting.

But I would prefer to see the wine dark sea from a bigger boat.

Lol, oh yeah, that makes sense.
