Winslow Homer(1836-1910)

• Like so many American artists, Winslow Homer had
  strong New England roots. He was born in Boston,
  and at the age of six moved with his family to
  Cambridge. Key transitional years for Homer were
  1881-82, which he spent in the fishing village of
  Cullercoats on the northeast coast of England.
  Here the painter developed his mature watercolor
  technique, and here also he found the theme of
  the sea to which he devoted the rest of his life.
  Upon his return to the U.S., Homer settled on
  then-remote Prout's Neck, near Portland, Maine,
  where his studio overlooked the ocean. His
  subjects now were masculine ones fishermen
  battling the elements both on shore and far out
  at sea.
