Tales Of Great Whales

70 years in the making… In celebration of acclaimed marine life artist Wyland’s 70th birthday, Wyland proudly releases his newest bronze sculpture, Tails of Great Whales, featuring one of his most iconic and beloved images: the majestic humpback whale tail rising high above the surface of the ocean. For decades, Wyland has captured the power, grace, and mystery of whales through his paintings, murals, and sculpture. With Tails of Great Whales, he brings that timeless symbol into a new collectible bronze edition, honoring the awe-inspiring moment when a humpback whale lifts its massive flukes toward the sky before disappearing beneath the sea. Each sculpture will feature a unique hand-applied patina, inspired by the natural variations, markings, and ocean-worn beauty of humpback whales themselves. No two pieces will be exactly alike, making every sculpture a one-of-a-kind expression within the edition. Cast in bronze in a limited edition of only 300 Signed and Numbered sculptures, plus 50 Artist Proofs, Tails of Great Whales represents one of the most powerful and recognizable images in all of nature: the whale’s tail, a symbol of strength, freedom, mystery, and the enduring spirit of the ocean. This newest Wyland sculpture is both a celebration of his lifelong dedication to marine life and a tribute to the magnificent humpback whale, one of the ocean’s greatest ambassadors.
