Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was an American seascape and landscape painter. Homer worked primarily in oil and watercolor paints, creating a prolific body of work that chronicled his working vacations.

The fresh watercolors were praised by critics, but brought him no success with buyers, so for most of his life Homer lived with financial support from his affluent brother.
