ON THE TRAIL by Winslow Homer (American 1836-1910) National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was one of the most powerful and original American painters of the 19th century.
After working in a lithographer's office, where he learned to make prints from original drawings, Homer became an illustrator for Harper's Weekly. When he served as Civil War correspondent for this periodical, his once happy scenes of everyday life turned to somber illustrations that showed the agony of the battlefield.
Later Homer gave up illustration and devoted himself to painting, taking as his subjects the woodsmen of the forest and the fishermen of the sea. His careful use of color, light, and shadow in his oils and watercolors add to the unsurpassed realism of his work.
Toward the end of his life, Homer settled in a small cabin on the rocky coast of Maine. He concentrated on painting the sea and its many moods, capturing its intense, bright atmosphere with simple washes of vivid color. He loved to paint dramatic, stormy seas, and his seascapes are considered his finest pictures.
