This demonstrates Frazetta's true mastery of the medium. Doesn't have to be a warrior or a woman. Just an interesting subject done perfectly. Congratulations!

Both Galleon and Carson of Venus, painted at about the same time, were influenced by Pyle's Attack on a Galleon.

I love his obvious love of the original and his amazing mental leap to produce such amazing images, which nod knowingly at the original but take it to new horizons. Theres an expression about taking a line for a walk. This is taking a paintbrush for a stroll.

One of my favourite Fritz paintings. Somehow this unlikely scenario (a floating pirate ship) becomes real and fascinating! Superb . . .

As a doctor, you should really gift this to someone who has Frazetta deficiency syndrome; me.

This painting is so beautiful. It must be such a joy to have it on your wall. It always stood out to me because it is the most 'mechanical' of Frank's paintings. Normally, he works with organic subjects, or stone structures. That metallic orb really stands out.

Yes, I agree--it is my favorite Frazetta piece of art in my collection, rivaled only by the Famos Funnies 211 cover--a close second!! It is also a favorite of many other local artists in the Pittsburgh area who have seen it--FYI, many local artists are also struck by the Carson of Venus oil. Curiously, both of those paintings are related and said to have been inspired by the "Attack on a Galleon" by Howard Pyle at the Deleware Art Museum. Those two frazetta's were painted fairly contemporaneously, namely, in 1973 (Galleon) and 1972 (Carson), respectively. They are friends once again!!! Thanks again to Rob Pistella for helping me acquire it. Enjoy, PK

You live in Pittsburgh! I went to the art institute in 83-84. Henry Koerner, one of the great painters of the 20th century, was one of my instructors. He was so much fun to learn from. I loved living there.
