About the piece
Winslow Homer’s 1873 masterpiece 'Breezing Up' is a quintessential work of American maritime art. It depicts three boys and a man on a catboat named 'Gloucester,' expertly navigating the Atlantic swells under a dramatic, light-filled sky that suggests both the freedom and the challenge of the sea.
