🎨Winslow Homer
Winslow Homer | The Life Line - 1884 - Philadelphia Museum of Art
Detail - Homer's composition puts us into the midst of the action with massive waves rolling past, drenching the semiconscious woman and her anonymous savior on a breeches buoy.
Winslow Homer in 1880 - Born: February 24, 1836 – Died: September 29, 1910
An American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters in 19th-century America and a preeminent figure in American art.
Largely self-taught, Homer began his career working as a commercial illustrator. He subsequently took up oil painting and produced major studio works characterized by the weight and density he exploited from the medium. He also worked extensively in watercolor, creating a fluid and prolific oeuvre, primarily chronicling his working vacations.
Winslow Homer | The Fog Warning - 1885 - Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Boston, U.S.
The painting depicts a lone fisherman in a dory who has caught several halibut but now sees fog blowing up, threatening to cut him off as he rows back to his ship.
