About this artwork
This watercolor landscape depicts a coastal view in Bermuda characterized by a prominent, leaning cedar tree overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It is a quintessential example of the artist's late-career interest in tropical light and marine atmosphere.
Did you know?
Winslow Homer spent several winters in Bermuda during the late 1890s and early 1900s, seeking relief from the cold Maine winters and inspiration for his watercolor technique. His work in Bermuda marked a significant departure from his earlier narrative paintings, focusing instead on the direct, brilliant light and fluid interaction between the sea and the rugged island landscape.
