"Wreck of the Schooner Hesperus on Norman's Woe" is a 19th-century maritime painting by the American artist Clement Drew (1806–1889). The artwork depicts the tragic shipwreck of the schooner Hesperus, immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1842 poem "The Wreck of the Hesperus." Drew, known for his detailed and atmospheric marine paintings, captures the violent sea and the dramatic moment of the schooner's demise against the backdrop of Norman's Woe, a notorious rocky reef off the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts.

The painting is executed in the luminist style, characterized by attention to detail, the effects of light on water, and a calm, almost poetic representation of nature's power. Drew's use of light and shadow, combined with the meticulous rendering of the waves and the doomed vessel, conveys the perilous situation with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. The work serves as both a visual retelling of Longfellow's narrative and a historical record of the perils faced by 19th-century mariners.

Clement Drew, although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, was a respected artist of his time, and his works contribute to the rich tradition of American maritime art. "Wreck of the Schooner Hesperus on Norman's Woe" is considered an important piece within Drew's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's fascination with the sea and his skill in portraying its ever-changing moods. The painting is significant for its artistic merit, its cultural resonance with the lore of New England's maritime history, and its embodiment of the themes of man versus nature that were prevalent in the art and literature of the period.
