Did you know?
Winslow Homer traveled to Bermuda several times between 1899 and 1901, seeking refuge from the cold Maine winters and inspiration in the vibrant light of the tropics. These watercolor excursions shifted his artistic focus toward the intense blues and greens of the Caribbean, moving away from his earlier, darker maritime themes. His work in Bermuda is considered some of the finest American watercolor painting of the 20th century, capturing the transparency and vitality of the sea.
