From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Spearing Eels is a 1804 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A person in a small boat holds a long pole toward the water. A jar sits in the boat. The background shows a calm body of water with a white building and trees in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose, and the colors are soft and muted. This painting shows someone spearing eels, a quiet, everyday task. The artist focused on light and movement in a simple scene. Next, look up Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910).
