- Lot Description
Winslow Homer (American, 1836-1910), wood engraving on newsprint entitled, "The Wreck of the 'Atlantic' - Cast Up by the Sea" 1873. Printed in "Harper's Weekly". A wood engraving by none other than Winslow Homer, generally regarded as one of the greatest American artists of the 19th century. Homer was fascinated by the sea and depicted several tragedies brought about by the sea. Here we see an Old Salt as he discovers the body of a beautiful young girl who has washed up on the shore following the wreck of the steamer Atlantic - a ship of the White Star Line that ran between Liverpool and New York. This was a famous disaster in which 545 of 957 passengers were lost to the sea off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1873. Note how indicative of Homer's penchant for realism, the artist presents this lovely lady still grasping a rope to demonstrate her attempt to survive. Size: 13.625" W x 9.125" H (34.6 cm x 23.2 cm) Size: 19.375" W x 15.125" H (49.2 cm x 38.4 cm) Size: 14" W x 9.25" H (35.6 cm x 23.5 cm); 18" W x 13" H (45.7 cm x 33 cm) with mat
Winslow Homer is best known for masterful paintings such as "Prisoners from the Front" (1866), "The Veteran in a New Field" (1865), "Snap the Whip" (1872), and "The Gulf Stream" (1899). However, earlier in his career, Homer was a printmaker in Boston and New York. At the age of nineteen, Homer apprenticed to J.H. Bufford of Boston. His long career as an illustrator for "Harper's Weekly" spanned from the late 1850's to the mid 1870's.
