미국의 자연주의 화가 윈슬로 호머(1836~1910). 그의 작품들은 19세기 후반의 미국 미술에서 가장 강렬하고 표현이 풍부하다는 평가를 받는다. 그가 그린 주제들은 겉보기에는 매우 단순하지만 느낌은 매우 강렬한 느낌을 준다. 미국 남북전쟁 당시 종군 화가로 뛰면서 그린 삽화들이 인기를 끌면서 이름을 알리게 되었는데, 대부분의 다른 종군 화가들과는 달리 전투 장면보다는 일상적인 야영 생활 장면들을 더 많이 다루었다.
그는 인상주의의 영향을 받았지만, 프랑스 인상주의와는 달리 단순한 스타일을 보여주었으며, 여기에 직설적인 서정성을 가미하여 미국적 인상주의 스타일을 개척하며 당시 유럽풍 위주의 미국화단에 신선한 바람을 일으켰다. 호머의 유화들은 점점 작품의 크기가 커졌고, 인물들은 더욱 고독해보였으며, 자연의 세부 묘사에 대한 그의 관심은 커져갔다. 호머는 수채화와 유화를 병행하면서 기념비적인 작품들을 많이 남겼는데, 주로 자연과 그 속의 순박한 사람들을 스케치했다. 일생의 대부분을 보낸 매사추세츠의 바다 풍경 그리고 말년에 여생을 보낸 플로리다 바하마 캐러비안의 풍경과 우아하고 따뜻한 이미지의 서민 여성의 아름다움을 나타내는 작품을 많이 남겼다. 그러다 갑자기 호머는 영국의 한 외딴 항구에서 어부의 삶과 바다에 관심을 가지게 되었고, 자연의 힘에 부딪힌 인간의 운명에 강한 관심을 가지게 되었다. 그는 세찬 바다에 맞서 힘, 지혜, 경험으로 이겨내는 용감한 사람들의 모습을 그리기 시작했다.
