Painting Description
"Cannon Rock" is a notable painting by the American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1895. This work is an oil on canvas and is part of Homer's series of marine subjects, capturing the rugged and dynamic beauty of the Maine coast, where he spent a great deal of time. The painting measures 39 1/2 x 39 1/2 inches (100.3 x 100.3 cm) and is currently housed in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The painting depicts a solitary, craggy rock formation, known locally as Cannon Rock, off the shore of Prouts Neck, Maine, where Homer maintained a studio from 1883 until his death in 1910. The rock earned its name due to its resemblance to a cannon when viewed from a certain angle. In "Cannon Rock," Homer masterfully captures the interplay of light and shadow, the power of the waves crashing against the rock, and the vastness of the ocean beyond. The composition is a testament to Homer's fascination with the sea and his ability to convey its ever-changing moods and the eternal struggle between man and nature.
Homer's technique in "Cannon Rock" is characterized by vigorous brushwork and a rich palette, which allows him to render the textures of the sea spray and the solidity of the rock with great effect. The painting is considered an exemplary work of American realism and is often cited for its contribution to the genre of marine painting. It reflects Homer's deep appreciation for the natural world and his skill in portraying the elemental forces that shape it.
"Cannon Rock" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance as part of Homer's mature body of work. The painting is frequently studied in the context of American art history and is a highlight of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of American paintings. It continues to draw the attention of scholars and art lovers alike, who are captivated by its dramatic representation of the sea and its enduring influence on American landscape painting.
