Carl Barks - "Flying Dutchman II" Oil Painting Original Art (1972-90). A half-page panel from 1959's Uncle Scrooge #25 served as the inspiration for this magnificent oil on masonite seascape -- Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie first sight the ghostly Fliegende Hollaender flying across the stormy skies with its crimson sails set in "The Flying Dutchman." Carl Barks ultimately painted three different versions of this electrifying scene and this is the work numbered #24-72. A note written on the back of the art board by Carl Barks reads, "This painting was begun in 1972. Shelved unfinished until 1990. Finished 1990. Painting medium used: Taubes Copal Heavy, Final varnish finish: Kamar #1312." The image area of this painting measures 23.5" x 17.5", and the piece has been framed to an overall size of 30.5" x 24.5". The art is in Excellent condition, and the painting was signed by Carl Barks at the lower right.
