West Point, Prout's Neck 1900

This painting, created in 1900 by American artist Winslow Homer, depicts a seascape of crashing waves and rugged coastline at Prout's Neck, Maine. Homer's realist style is evident in the detailed portrayal of the natural world, and his use of light and shadow creates a sense of drama and movement. The painting showcases Homer’s signature style and features vibrant colors and sweeping brushstrokes. "West Point, Prout's Neck," now in the Clark Art Institute, is one of Homer's most celebrated works, and captures the beauty and power of the natural world.
