Unit price perAbout the Artwork:
Winslow Homer, born in 1836 in Boston, Massachusetts, stands as one of the titans of 19th-century American art, known for his vivid and detailed portrayals of American life and landscapes. He began his artistic career as a commercial illustrator, and his experience as a wartime correspondent during the Civil War profoundly influenced his later works. Homer is celebrated for his powerful depictions of nature and human endurance, often highlighting the interplay of human figures within expansive landscapes, using both oil and watercolor to stunning effect.
In 1864, Winslow Homer created lithographed collector's cards called "Life in Camp." In these works, Homer employed a humorous tone to engage in small reflections on military life. This image captures a Union soldier's grimace in reaction to hard tack, a widely disliked basic ration that was a necessary source of nutrition during the war.
