Breaking Storm, Coast of Maine — Homer Area Rug

Painted in 1894, this watercolor captures a quiet, tense moment along the rocky Maine coast just before a storm rolls in, its smooth turquoise water rendered in pure transparent washes beneath a darkening horizon. Winslow Homer, who had settled at Prout's Neck, Maine, the previous decade, used a wet-on-wet technique inspired by Japanese ink painting to blend sea, sky, and rain into one atmosphere. It is held in the Art Institute of Chicago's Martin A. Ryerson Collection.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

I wanted something for the sunroom that nobody else would have, and this is it. The image is so clean that I have looked at it with a magnifier.
My card was charged twice and only one order ever shipped. The delivery was marked complete on a day when nothing arrived here. It smelled like a chemical plant for a week in a house where we keep the windows open.
This turned out better than the photos led me to expect. The finish looks even across the entire surface. This old rowhouse has settled every which way, and it still looks right where I put it. Good value even at full price…
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. It brings out parts of Breaking Storm, Coast of Maine I have never seen reproduced this well. This is what buying online should feel like.
This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. We keep the porch doors open most of the year and the colors have not shifted. 👌
