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 exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. 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 24×36 and pairs with Homer's Northeaster.
