Beach Scene  1869

Description: [br]Winslow Homer is considered the most important American painter of the second half of the 19th century. Principally known for his depictions of stormy seas, Homer was one of the first artists to focus on the theme of bathers on the beach, which had recently been made fashionable by Eugène Boudin in Paris in the mid-1860s.
