After the Hurricane, Bahamas — Homer Pillow

Painted during Winslow Homer's second trip to the Bahamas in the winter of 1898-99, this watercolor shows a man washed ashore beside the wreckage of his boat after a storm, sunlight breaking through the thinning clouds behind him. It is one of Homer's most technically ambitious and somber watercolors, marking the culmination of a series exploring man's vulnerability before nature. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

This looks like something that cost twice what it did. Shipping took four days from order to doorstep. It cost about twenty dollars more than I wanted to spend and I don’t regret it. Four stars and a short wish list.
Thanks for the review, and for trusting us with a gift order. Glad it arrived when it was supposed to.
I kept checking the tracking because I could not wait for it to get here. The clarity of the Hurricane, Bahamas makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. The seller replied to my question in under a hour.
This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. Owning the Hurricane, Bahamas means more to me than generic art ever could, and Homer is part of that. The color accuracy is the best I have seen from an online order. It looks like something you would find in a very good museum shop. I am already planning the next order.
I ordered this for a specific spot and it only half works there. Fine for a room nobody spends much time in.
I have already recommended this shop to three people. The texture in the Hurricane, Bahamas makes Homer feel present in the room. It was the first thing my mother noticed when she visited. It has been worth every minute of the wait.
