"Bear and Canoe" is a notable artwork by the American landscape painter and printmaker Winslow Homer (1836–1910). Created in 1895, this painting is an exemplar of Homer's mature style, which often depicted scenes of nature and human interaction with the environment. The work is characterized by its depiction of a solitary bear on the edge of a body of water, with an empty canoe floating nearby, suggesting a narrative of wilderness and survival.

Winslow Homer is widely regarded as one of the foremost painters in American art history, particularly known for his marine subjects and for capturing the raw beauty and power of nature. "Bear and Canoe" reflects his keen observation of the American wilderness and his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and the sublime. The painting's composition, with its juxtaposition of the wild animal and the human element of the canoe, speaks to the themes of the encroachment of civilization on the natural world and the inherent tensions therein.

The artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium Homer mastered after years of working as a commercial illustrator and watercolorist. His transition to oils marked a significant period in his career, allowing him to explore different textures and lighting effects, which are evident in the nuanced rendering of the bear's fur and the reflections on the water in "Bear and Canoe."

"Bear and Canoe" is held in a private collection, and while it may not be as widely recognized as some of Homer's other works, such as "The Gulf Stream" or "Snap the Whip," it nonetheless contributes to the understanding of his artistic evolution and the thematic concerns that permeated his oeuvre. The painting is a testament to Homer's enduring legacy as an artist who captured the American spirit and the complex relationship between humans and the natural world.
