"Undertow" is an 1886 oil painting by the American artist Winslow Homer. This work is notable for its dramatic depiction of two women being rescued from a perilous situation in the sea. The painting measures 29 13/16 x 47 5/8 inches (75.7 x 121 cm) and is part of the collection at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

In "Undertow," Homer captures a moment of intense struggle and human bravery against the forces of nature. The composition shows two lifeguards, their muscles straining, as they carry the women to safety through the churning waters. The women, limp and seemingly unconscious, add a sense of vulnerability and drama to the scene. The painting's title refers to the dangerous underwater current that can pull swimmers out to sea, a common hazard along coastlines.

Homer's use of color and light in "Undertow" enhances the sense of urgency and the raw power of the ocean. The artist's brushwork conveys the movement of water and the tension of the figures' bodies. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the themes of human struggle, heroism, and the unpredictable power of nature.

Before creating "Undertow," Homer spent considerable time in the coastal village of Cullercoats, England, where he observed the lives of fishermen and the sea's ever-present danger. This experience profoundly influenced his later works, including "Undertow," which reflects his deep respect for the ocean's might and the courage of those who faced its challenges.

"Undertow" is considered one of Homer's significant works from his mature period and is often discussed in the context of his broader oeuvre, which includes other marine subjects. The painting is admired for its technical mastery, emotional depth, and its evocative portrayal of a life-and-death struggle against the elements.
