"Eight Bells" is an iconic 1886 oil painting by American artist Winslow Homer. It depicts two sailors determining their ship's position at sea, a practice known as "shooting the sun" in the days before electronic navigation. The title refers to the "eight bells" system used aboard ships to mark the passage of time in four-hour watches, with eight bells signifying the end of a watch.

The painting is renowned for its realistic portrayal of the sailors' intense concentration and the vastness of the sea that surrounds them. Homer's masterful use of light and color captures the crisp, clear atmosphere of the marine setting, and his attention to detail in the sailors' attire and the ship's rigging reflects his deep understanding of maritime life. The work is often celebrated for its embodiment of the American spirit of independence and self-reliance, themes that were central to Homer's oeuvre.

"Eight Bells" is considered one of Homer's finest maritime paintings and is a prime example of his mature style. After spending time on the coast of England, Homer returned to the United States and settled in Prouts Neck, Maine, where the Atlantic Ocean became a central subject of his art. The painting is held in the collection of the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
