I've been seeing this Painting for years, and always loved it.

As Rod Stewart sings, "Every Picture Tells A Story".

RIP, Jack.

Paintings that speak for themselves without the need of an interpreter is real art.

Sorry to hear this, I liked his work, his style reminds me a lot of Hopper.

RIP Storyteller!

Love this painting, and, many of his others ...

I can hear music/singing, in this painting.

Agree with this comment, from your linked vid ...

There’s realism there ... that seemed to be of a slightly past era ... yet, the paintings were obviously modern, and, of Jack’s time (paraphrasing).

Thank you for the ping.

It's curious that the woman narrating the YouTube video you posted is standing in front of a different version of the painting. There are many differences, the most notable is the missing maid, the very different sky, and the missing butler's handkerchief.


Then there's the derivative Banksy work "Crude Oil (Vettriano)." It was put up for sale by Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus, who acquired the painting in 2011. It sold at auction for £4.3 M ($5.4 M). The original was sold to a private bidder at a 2004 auction for £744,500. The Banksy work sold for SIX times what the original sold for just seven years earlier.

Sorry, not seeing it folks. If that painting were mine I’d burn it.

Exquisitely beautiful. Sad about the artist. I still remember when Picasso died in 1973.
