Status On View, Gallery 171 Department Arts of the Americas Artist Winslow Homer Title The Herring Net Place New England (Place depicted) Dateĭates are not always precisely known, but the Art Institute strives to present this information as consistently and legibly as possible. Homer’s isolation of these two figures underscores the monumentality of their task: the elemental struggle against a sea that both nurtures and deprives. Utilizing the teamwork so necessary for survival, both strive to steady the precarious boat as it rides the incoming swells. While one fisherman hauls in the netted and glistening herring, the other unloads the catch. In a small dory, two figures loom large against the mist on the horizon, through which the sails of the mother schooners are dimly visible. Here Homer depicted the heroic efforts of fishermen at their daily work, hauling in an abundant catch of herring. The paintings he created after 1882 focus almost exclusively on humankind’s age-old contest with nature. Long inspired by the subject, Homer had spent summers visiting New England fishing villages during the 1870s, and in 1881–82 he made a trip to a fishing community in Cullercoats, England, that fundamentally changed his work and his life. In 1883 Winslow Homer moved to the small coastal village of Prouts Neck, Maine, where he created a series of paintings of the sea unparalleled in American art.
