Winslow Homer
American, 1836–1910
Winslow Homer was an American Realism painter. 481 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Winslow Homer was born in Boston.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters of 19th-century America and a preeminent figure in American art in general. 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 œuvre, primarily chronicling his working vacations.
