More about this artwork

"Salt Kettle, Bermuda" by Winslow Homer is a tranquil watercolor painting that captures a serene view of Bermuda during the late 19th century. In this painting, Homer depicts a calm harbor scene with great sensitivity to the quality and effects of light. Several boats, some sunken, rest by the waterfront, enhancing the sense of quietude and stillness. Two prominent white buildings, which likely serve as local residences or storerooms, overlook the water, reflecting beautifully onto the surface. The painting is characterized by its clear, vibrant colors and broad, confident brushstrokes, typical of Homer's watercolor works.The sky is a dynamic element within the composition, with soft, voluminous clouds that add a depth and realism to the scene. Homer's use of shadow and light is very noticeable, providing a strong sense of the time of day and weather. The foreground features lush greenery and a pathway that leads the viewer's eye around the water edge, creating a circular motion that connects all elements of the painting together harmoniously. The entire scene exudes a peacefulness that is typical of Homer’s best landscapes, making it not just a visual experience but also an emotive one.

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.
