Winslow Homer was a famous American illustrator and landscape painter of the 19th century.
Born on February 24, 1836 in Boston, MA.
Died on September 29, 1910 at Prout's Neck, Scarborough , Maine.
In 1866, the trained lithographer Winslow Homer, who, in his early years, had been working as an illustrator for American newspapers, was admitted to the Academy due to his reporting drawings "Prisoners from the Front" showing the horror of the Civil War. Winslow Homer, who got to know the painters of the Barbizon School during a trip to France, remained stuck to landscape painting with figure scenes pervaded by psychological tension. His late work, from which marine images depicting the loneliness of the human being are best known, was influenced by the landscape of the coast of Maine, where the artist had moved to in 1882. |
