Year

Medium
Watercolour over graphite on paper
Original size
37.2 × 54.2 cm
Collection
Art Institute of Chicago
Movement
Realism

A man lies on the white sand beside the broken hull of his boat after a storm, the surf still running and the sky clearing behind. Whether he is alive or drowned Homer leaves unclear. It was painted in watercolour in the Bahamas in 1899 and belongs to the same years as The Gulf Stream, which shows another lone sailor at the mercy of the sea. It is in the Art Institute of Chicago.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A powerful shoreline watercolour in turquoise and white for a study or hallway, framed in black. It suits white or slate walls and pairs with The Gulf Stream.

Size. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?
The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.
Is After the Hurricane, Bahamas in the public domain?
Yes. Winslow Homer (1836–1910) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Art Institute of Chicago.
What is it printed on?
Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.
When was After the Hurricane, Bahamas painted, and in what medium?
After the Hurricane, Bahamas dates from 1899 and was made in watercolour over graphite on paper; the original measures 37.2 × 54.2 cm.
What size works above a sofa or bed?
Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair.
