About the piece

Painted in 1862, this luminous oil painting by Fitz Henry Lane depicts the calm waters of Owl's Head in Penobscot Bay. The work is a quintessential example of American Luminism, balancing a detailed foreground of the rugged Maine coast with the soft, ethereal light of a dying sun reflecting on the water.
