Looking down from the black rocks of Prouts Neck, Homer shows a green-blue sea rolling in toward the shore, with a single wave breaking white on the horizon and foam churning in the cove below. The square canvas and the high viewpoint push the water up toward the viewer, so the picture is almost all sea. Homer painted it in 1895, at the height of his series of Maine coast marines. It has been in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1906.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. Prints at 12×18 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; dark wood warms it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
