1867
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Bird Catchers is a 1867 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, depicting Hunting, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two boys in a field holding a long net. They wear simple clothes and stand in bright daylight. One boy looks straight at you while the other watches the trees. Homer painted this scene right after the Civil War. He often showed everyday American life with honesty. The boys aren’t idealized—they look real and tired. It’s in Cleveland now. See it in person if you’re there.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
