1895
Winslow Homer captures the raw, untamed power of the Atlantic Ocean in this moody seascape, painted from his studio at Prouts Neck, Maine. Jagged, dark cliffs frame the churning teal and white waves, drawing the eye toward a massive swell cresting in the distance under a heavy, overcast sky. Homer was known for braving the elements to sketch these storms, and this 1895 masterpiece perfectly encapsulates his lifelong obsession with the sea's dangerous beauty. It hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where viewers can almost hear the crashing surf.
