About the piece

Created in 1901, 'The Coming Storm' showcases Winslow Homer's legendary ability to render the power of nature through watercolor. The composition contrasts the deep, bruised greys of an advancing squall against the luminous turquoise of the sea, anchored by a lone, resilient tree on a rocky shore.
