Influential 19th century artist Winslow Homer (1836 – 1910) broke from Impressionism to produce realistic, robust images of American life. An illustrator, oil painter and watercolorist, Homer created battlefront illustrations for “Harper’s Weekly” before moving on to tranquil farm and rural scenes. Homer is famous for his energetic, epic seascapes, as well as portrayals of man pitted against the rugged wilderness. His fresh, spontaneous style and exquisite expression of atmosphere had a revolutionary impact on watercolor art.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
