Cannon Rock

Winslow Homer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting "Cannon Rock" by Winslow Homer depicts a seascape with a large body of water and rocky shoreline. The water is a blue-green color with white foam on the waves. The waves are crashing against dark-colored rocks on the right and left sides. The sky above is gray and cloudy. A large wave is forming in the distance. The rocky shoreline is dark and jagged. The overall atmosphere is one of turbulent sea conditions.
