About the piece

Painted in 1890, Winslow Homer’s 'Winter Coast' captures the stark beauty and formidable power of the Atlantic. The high-contrast composition pits the brilliance of fresh snow and sea foam against a brooding, heavy sky, exemplifying Homer's late-career mastery of the ocean's elemental force and the rugged resilience of the New England landscape.
