Biography: Winslow Homer was born in 1836 in Boston, Massachussets. He died in 1910 at the age of 74 in his studio at Prout's Neck, Maine. Largely self-taught as an artist, Homer was apprenticed to a commercial lithographer in 1855 at the age of 19. His early works were mostly illustrations and engravings. In 1859 he opened his own studio in New York City and began painting. During the American Civil War, he worked as an illustrator for Harper's and other magazines. In 1867, Homer traveled to Paris, France, for ten months, to see two of his own paintings on exhibit there, at the Universal Exhibition among other things, but too early to be influenced by the Impressionists. The more direct European influence on his work was from the Barbizon painters, especially Jean-Francois Millet. Other notable American painters who were contemporaneous with Homer include Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Eakins, Eastman Johnson, and William Merritt Chase. Check out our
