How Winslow Homer evokes the power of nature with just a few elements

"The sea is a universal realm, and it's a place that we don't really understand."


Curator H. Barbara Weinberg explains Winslow Homer's "Northeaster”.

Throughout 2013, The Met invited curators from across the Museum to each talk about one artwork that changed the way they see the world. Each episode is interpreted by a Museum photographer.
