1860
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Welcome to the Prince of Wales is a 1860 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a lively scene of people gathered around a welcome sign. The sign reads "Welcome" and is surrounded by a crowd of men and women, all dressed in 19th-century clothing. Some are sitting, while others are standing, and they all seem to be engaged in conversation. In the background, there are two circular insets that appear to show scenes of people rolling out a carpet and a group of people gathered around a man who is lying on the ground. The overall mood of the painting is one of excitement and anticipation, as if the crowd is waiting for someone important to arrive. The artist who created this painting is Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910).
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
