Born and raised in Boston, he began his career at age eighteen in his hometown, working as anapprentice at a printing company. Skilled at drawing, he soon made a name for himself makingillustrations for novels, sheet music, magazines, and children’s books. He then moved to New York City, where he worked as a freelance illustrator with Harper’s Weekly,a popular magazine of the time, and began painting. Homer was assigned to cover the inauguration ofPresident Lincoln and, later, the Civil War. His pictures of the Union troops won international recognition.Homer moved to England and, after a two-year stay, returned to America. He settled permanently inMaine in 1883. From the late 1850s until his death in 1910, Winslow Homer produced a body of work distinguishedby its thoughtful expression and its independence from artistic conventions. A man of multiple talents,Homer excelled equally in the arts of illustration, oil painting, and watercolor. Many of hisworks—depictions of children at play and in school, farm girls attending to their work, hunters and theirprey—have become classic images of nineteenth-century American life.
