Watercolor masterpieces by a beloved American artist

Winslow Homer (1836–1910) once said, “You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors.” Today, many consider Homer to be one of the most important painters to work in the medium. Winslow Homer in Watercolor offers a deep dive into one of the most significant collections of the artist's watercolors, held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Featuring nearly fifty of these luminous works on paper, readers will be transported to the rugged Maine coast, the mountains of the Adirondacks, the shores of seaside England, and the bright sun of the Caribbean to explore the various environments—ecological, artistic, social, and economic—that impacted Homer’s enduring work in watercolor.
