Early Morning After a Storm at Sea

The Atlantic surf pounding the coast at Prouts Neck, Maine, was the great subject of Winslow Homer’s last decades, and he called this “the best picture of the sea that I have painted.” First conceived as a watercolour, the composition was taken up in oil nearly two decades later; Homer waited for the right atmospheric conditions and painted it in four sessions over two years, 1900–1903.
