Hudson river

The painting depicts a tranquil river landscape, with a river with flowing blue-green water in the centre of the picture. Wooden logs are scattered in front of it, seemingly ready to float down the river. Large, rounded stones are visible on the bank and in the water. The surrounding countryside is depicted in darker shades of green and brown, suggesting a woodland setting perhaps in the late afternoon or in cloudy weather.

Winslow Homer (1836-1910). American painter and illustrator. His first works were influenced by naturalistic romanticism – he used light as a dramatic device that created idealized and poetic landscapes (mostly near the Hudson River). In 1867, Homer moved to France and under the influence of Impressionism, his style of painting changed. His paintings became more elusive, more colourful, more diverse and sophisticated in terms of technique. After 1883, he began to use oil paints while trying to capture the magic of reflections of light on water, which he combined with emotional scenes from the lives of fishermen. Homer is considered the most important representatives of Realism in the US.
