Hurricane, Bahamas
1898
Winslow Homer didn't just paint the Bahamas; he felt its weather. Created in 1898 during a winter trip to Nassau, this watercolor captures a hurricane bearing down on a cluster of humble cottages. The palm trees are bent almost double by the wind, leaning away from the dark, heavy storm clouds gathering above. You can practically hear the wind howling and see the turquoise sea churning in the background, showcasing Homer's mastery of atmospheric tension.
