"Colonial Whaler 'Fame'" is a painting by the 19th-century English artist Oswald Walter Brierly, known for his maritime scenes and as a marine artist to Queen Victoria. Brierly's work often reflects his fascination with the sea and ships, and this painting is no exception. It depicts the whaling ship 'Fame' engaged in the colonial whaling industry, which was a significant economic activity during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The painting captures the essence of the perilous and arduous life aboard a whaling vessel. The 'Fame' is portrayed amidst the vastness of the ocean, highlighting the isolation and the challenges faced by those who took part in whaling expeditions. Brierly's attention to detail in the rendering of the ship and the sea illustrates his intimate knowledge of maritime subjects, likely gained through his own experiences at sea.

Oswald Walter Brierly (1817-1894) was not only an accomplished artist but also a sailor and later the marine artist to Queen Victoria, which gave him a prestigious position in the art world of his time. His works are considered important historical records of the maritime activities of the era, and "Colonial Whaler 'Fame'" serves as a visual document of the whaling industry's significance to the colonial economy and its impact on maritime culture.

The painting is an example of Brierly's skill in capturing the drama and the dynamic nature of life at sea. It is a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of whaling, maritime exploration, and the economic history of the colonial period. As with many of Brierly's works, this painting is likely to be held in high regard for its historical value and its artistic merit, contributing to our understanding of the period's maritime history.
