"Old Hulks" is a notable painting by the American artist Dennis Miller Bunker, who is widely recognized for his contributions to American Impressionism in the late 19th century. Created in 1884, this work exemplifies Bunker's adept skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a serene maritime scene, featuring decaying ships, or "hulks," that have been left to the mercy of the elements. These abandoned vessels, once robust and seaworthy, now stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time, their weathered exteriors telling stories of their bygone days of glory.

Bunker’s choice of subject matter in "Old Hulks" reflects a deep appreciation for the transient beauty found in decay and abandonment. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere are evident in the way he portrays the dilapidated ships against a backdrop of calm waters and a softly lit sky. The painting's composition draws the viewer's eye through the scene, inviting contemplation of the natural processes of aging and the inevitable decline that follows human endeavor.

"Old Hulks" is also significant for its historical context. Painted during a period when Bunker was transitioning from his academic training to a more Impressionistic style, the work showcases his evolving technique and growing confidence as an artist. The painting is often celebrated for its emotional depth and technical proficiency, making it a valuable piece within Bunker's oeuvre and a fine example of American Impressionism.

Today, "Old Hulks" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection. It stands as a testament to Dennis Miller Bunker's artistic legacy and his contribution to the broader narrative of American art history.
