Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1896) "During his final decades, Homer focused his work on themes of nature and mortality. At his home-studio in Prouts Neck, Maine, he channeled his commitment to realism into representations of the rugged coast and churning ocean across the seasons—in varying conditions and at different times of day. In these visceral scenes, the expressive quality of Homer’s brushwork captures the power, eternity, and majesty of the ocean. Maine Coast was one of four ambitious paintings the artist exhibited at the Paris Exposition to considerable critical acclaim." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
