Such a dramatic depiction. Arms outstretched to save this human from utter and most imminent obliteration. The shark is so close to that mans head it's nerve racking. I wonder if this is a painting done in the memory of something that had really happened? If it did really happen what a traumatic experience.

It might be an interesting painting, especially one to discuss, but I'm not sure I'd want it or a copy of it hanging in my house. Too freaky/sad.
The painting does depict a true event, if you read the story in the following link it truely is a horrifiying story:

It's an excellent painting anyway.
Yes, we'll be getting a copy of it to hang on the wall above our bed...
