Titanic

“Unsinkable!” There’s no nautical subject quite so iconic as the mighty RMS Titanic. Photos of her gigantic hull cutting through salty waves impress on viewers just how mighty the ocean liner really was. How could such a magnificent creation fail to triumph? But the Titanic’s tragic end is what gives its images such poignancy. The image of Rose flying in Jack’s arms is tender and romantic because it is bittersweet. The dark capture of that same bow, now rusted and submerged is hauntingly beautiful. Vintage photography, artwork, and newspaper headlines of her demise all lend to the mystique. Could Rose have made room for Jack and saved his life after the ship sank? Probably. Is Titanic wall art as alluring as it is timeless? Definitely.
