About the piece

Painted in 1904, Winslow Homer's 'Summer Squall' exemplifies the artist's mastery of marine subjects, depicting the turbulent intersection of ocean and land. The composition contrasts the solid, dark rocks with the fluid, churning foam and a leaden sky, capturing a fleeting moment of atmospheric tension.
