Winslow Homer, one of the great painters of the 19th Century, was a self-taught artist. He devoted a significant part of his career to painting crashing waves and stormy seas. It has been said that Homer had the ability to recreate nature’s harsh and stormy weather unlike any other artist.
Originally an illustrator he moved on to paintings—first oil then watercolors. He was the first to display his watercolors as finished works. He believed in using marine watercolors that were luminous and bright. The medium of watercolors is credited to Homer.
If you have had an opportunity to view Homer’s work, it becomes obvious why he is known as the major American marine painter and watercolorist of all time.
