I am not sure whether you will all like this painting and some may consider it too 'photographic'.
The artist was not named in my source, but you can discern a signature in the bottom right-hand corner.

I feel it is a little stylised.

No. Atually these are muscled from natural work.
I don't like the ones that appear pumped-up 'a la Popeye.' Those who lift heavy weights and take enhancing steroids. A discord of the male human body. When they become older, the muscles hang like old bells. -

This looks like a picture done for a book or story magazine to me - although I have no evidence whatsoever to back up my claim!
It is always a matter of personal taste, which is why art fascinates, but for me it is a little to close to the "yard and a half of rowers please" school of commercial art.
All of that said, if I had but one ounce of the skill that this artist possessed I would be a very happy chappy.-
You are right. I think it is 'imagined' and not a representation of an actual event.

Soviet "heroic" paintings come to mind :-)

It's a pretty good pic in line with illustrations in earlier magazines...far superior to the female rower one....GBHs...XXX
