Northeaster, Maine, Estados Unidos (Northeaster) - Winslow Homer

 


Northeaster, Maine, Estados Unidos (Northeaster) - Winslow Homer
Maine - Estados Unidos
Metropolitan Museum of Arts, Nova York, Estados Unidos
OST - 87x127 - 1895

On the Maine coast, a “nor’easter” is a storm of exceptional violence and duration. When Homer first showed this canvas in 1895, it included two men in foul-weather gear crouching on the rocks below a smaller column of spray. Even though the painting was well received and purchased by a leading collector of American art—George Hearn, who later donated it to the Metropolitan Museum—Homer reworked it to powerful effect.
