The Black Sails
Oil on Canvas
34”x28”
King Aegeus told his son Theseus that if he was successful battling the Minotaur, he should fly white sails upon his return, and black sails if he was not. Theseus forgot his father’s direction, and upon seeing black sails his father threw himself into the sea in despair. That sea is now called the Aegean. The Black Sails has always been a favorite of mine.
