The Coming Storm 1901

"The Coming Storm" is a watercolor painting by American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1901. The painting depicts a dramatic seascape with a lone tree bent by the wind and dark, looming clouds above a calm bay. Homer's use of light and shadow, as well as his detailed depiction of the natural world, creates a sense of impending storm and foreboding. The work is a prime example of his later period, known for its bold colors and focus on nature's raw power.
