About the piece
Created in 1897, this watercolor by Winslow Homer captures the raw energy of the 'Grand Discharge' at Lake St. John. The contrast between the churning white foam and the deep, atmospheric forest reflects Homer's lifelong fascination with the power of nature and his unparalleled skill in the watercolor medium.
