A Sense Of Delight

A Sense Of Delight

A vivid sense of delight takes hold off one, when for the first time one penetrates the surface. After thousands of years of fear and effort Man has at last succeeded in getting beneath the top layer of the sea, winning a long battle against asphyxia and terror. A palace untouched by human hand, with its gardens of rock and water where living creatures play the part of flowers, is the goal of all our striving.

Words by Philippe Diole.The Undersea Adventure – 1953

This painting is dedicated to all the woman and men who risk their lives daily to provide us with a glimpse of a Wonderful World Beneath The Sea.
