Winslow Homer painted this rugged seascape in 1893, a decade after settling into near isolation at Prout's Neck, Maine, where the pounding surf and rocky shoreline became his primary subject. Stripped of any human presence, the composition uses sharp diagonals and vigorous brushwork to convey the raw power of the Maine coast. The work entered the Art Institute of Chicago's collection in 1931, a gift from the Chicago collector Arthur Jerome Eddy.
