Boston-born artist Winslow Homer transformed the medium of watercolor through his relentless spirit of experimentation. His luminous vistas transport viewers to the rugged Maine coast, the Adirondack Mountains, seaside England, sun-drenched Caribbean waters, and beyond.

The MFA houses the largest collection of Homer’s watercolors in the world, as well as a selection of related oils, drawings, and prints by the artist. “Of Light and Air: Winslow Homer in Watercolor” brings together many of these works, which have not been displayed together in nearly half a century due to their fragility and sensitivity to light.

Join MFA curators to learn more about the exhibition and celebrate Homer’s mastery of watercolor and the innovative techniques he pioneered.
