More about this artwork

"Breaking Storm, Coast Of Maine" by Winslow Homer captures a dynamic and moody portrayal of the natural environment as a storm develops over the ocean. The painting emphasizes an impressive sky filled with turbulent, heavy clouds that vary in shades from darkened grays to softer whites, indicating the movement and the intensity of the storm. Below, the sea reflects a surprisingly brighter, greenish-blue tone, perhaps indicating a fleeting moment where the sun pierces through the dense cloud cover, creating a stark contrast against the darker colors.In the lower part of the image, darker, rich tones of red and brown suggest rocky coastal elements typical of Maine's rugged shoreline, providing a sense of place and grounding the ethereal sky and water with their more somber, earthen hues. This effectively evokes the raw beauty and the unyielding nature of the coastal regions often depicted in Homer's works.Slightly off the center and through the sky, a flock of birds is painted in silhouette, possibly seeking refuge from the approaching storm. Their inclusion adds life to the scene, but also a feeling of urgency and movement, enhancing the overall impact of nature's power captured in the painting.

Winslow Homer was an American landscape painter and printmaker, best known for his marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters in 19th-century America and a preeminent figure in American art.

Largely self-taught, Homer began his career working as a commercial illustrator. He subsequently took up oil painting and produced major studio works characterized by the weight and density he exploited from the medium. He also worked extensively in watercolor, creating a fluid and prolific oeuvre, primarily chronicling his working vacations.
