Winslow Homer(1836-1910)
  • Like so many American artists, Winslow Homer had
    strong New England roots. He was born in Boston,
    and at the age of six moved with his family to
    Cambridge. Key transitional years for Homer were
    1881-82, which he spent in the fishing village of
    Cullercoats on the northeast coast of England.
    Here the painter developed his mature watercolor
    technique, and here also he found the theme of
    the sea to which he devoted the rest of his life.
    Upon his return to the U.S., Homer settled on
    then-remote Prout's Neck, near Portland, Maine,
    where his studio overlooked the ocean. His
    subjects now were masculine ones fishermen
    battling the elements both on shore and far out
    at sea.
