A column of spray climbs out of the surf at the tip of Prouts Neck, the rocky Maine point where Homer lived and worked, while the sky behind it burns in streaks of red after sunset. Homer told his dealer the picture was painted fifteen minutes after sundown and not a minute before. The dark rocks and grey-green water are laid in broad, rough strokes against that thin band of colour. The painting belongs to the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A wild sunset sea in slate, cream and coral for a living room, study or long hallway wall, framed in black or dark wood. It holds a deep blue or warm grey wall at 36×24 and pairs with Homer's Northeaster.

Size. We'd hang this one at 36×24. Prints at 18×12, 24×16, 36×24 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard; 36×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.
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).
