Original – The Fog Warning is one of the best among his many great works, a dramatic moment when the fisherman is fighting to get back to the boat before caught in the fog. The psychological drama of a fisherman in danger of getting lost at sea is depicted in this painting. The fisherman who was out fishing for halibut is surprised out at sea by the fog. He has grabbed the oars and he is on his way towards the ship, to escape from being fogbound. The painting is more disturbing than Homers previous calm sunny country life scenes.
Reason
Winslow Homer (1836 – 1910) was an original and interesting American painter, best known for his paintings with marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters in 19th-century America and a preeminent figure in American art.
