About this artwork
This oil on canvas painting captures the powerful movement of the ocean against the rocky shore of Prouts Neck, Maine. It is one of many seascapes Homer produced later in his career, focusing on the raw energy of the Atlantic coast.
Did you know?
Winslow Homer spent his later years in near-seclusion at his studio in Prouts Neck, Maine, where he became obsessed with the raw power of the ocean. He famously built a special studio setup that allowed him to observe the waves from behind glass, protecting him from the harsh New England spray while he captured the dramatic light and movement of the sea.
