Biography:
Winslow Homer was trained as a lithographer in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts. During the American Civil War, he served as a sketch artist for the Union army, providing Harper’s Weekly with battle images for their publication. He also began painting during this time, producing the two large pieces Home Sweet Home and Prisoners from the Front. After painting in the nautical genre in Tynemouth, England from 1881 to 1883, Homer returned to the United States to continue in the genre on the coast of Maine.
