After the Hurricane, Bahamas — Homer Tapestry Blanket
Couldn't load pickup availability
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 as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. The scale works perfectly for the Hurricane, Bahamas and nothing feels cramped. It has become the thing I point to when people compliment the house. It has made the primary bedroom feel finished…
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. The detail in the Hurricane, Bahamas holds up with my face inches away. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough.
It shipped fast and arrived exactly as described. The balance of light and dark in the Hurricane, Bahamas came out better than I expected.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. My guests ask about the Hurricane, Bahamas before anything else in the house.
Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. I compared it against a similar piece from another shop and this one won.
