Winslow Homer 1836 – 1910 is regarded by many as the greatest American painter of the nineteenth century, best known for his marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters of 19th-century in America. Homer was largely self-taught and began his career working as a commercial illustrator. He subsequently took up oil painting and produced major studio works characterised by the weight and density he exploited from the medium. He also worked extensively in watercolour, creating a fluid and prolific oeuvre, primarily chronicling his working vacations.

Homer's works focussed on the beauty, force, and drama of the sea itself. In their dynamic compositions and rich watercolour palettes, his late seascapes capture the look and feel (and even suggest the sound) of masses of onrushing and receding water.
