About the piece
Created in 1886, Winslow Homer’s 'Undertow' is a tour de force of American realism, capturing the raw intensity of the Atlantic and the physical heroism of a life-saving rescue. The painting is celebrated for its masterful rendering of the translucent green water and the sculptural strength of the figures caught in the sea's power.
