Years later, his brother was drowned in a scuba diving accident at Scapa Flow, swept deep into a current where he was forced to cut the rope connecting him to his diving partner. Farrington spent 10 days on a fishing boat searching for him out at sea. The experience informed a great many of his maritime paintings, from seascapes of desperate fish stock hoovered up by legions of fishing boats to the endless trail of a Melvillian white whale, harried by greedy sailors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Farrington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57216946405749,"sku":"JF-87806-s","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/5597\/3514\/files\/john-farrington-Fisherman-87806.jpg?v=1779439170","url":"https:\/\/www.goldmarkart.com\/products\/john-farrington-fisherman-jf-87806-s","provider":"Goldmark","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
