About the piece
Created in 1886, Winslow Homer’s 'To the Rescue' captures a moment of intense atmospheric drama. Three figures are silhouetted against a churning, dark sky and a pale, windswept ground, showcasing Homer's career-long fascination with the power of nature and human resilience. This work from The Phillips Collection exemplifies the artist's masterful use of oil to create a sense of movement and impending storm.
