Did you know that Homer painted this with such immediacy that you feel as though you are right there with the two men? 🎨
Winslow Homer (1836-1910) is a titan of American art, celebrated for his powerful depictions of nature and maritime life. His trip to the Bahamas in the late 19th century was a pivotal moment in his career, where his mastery of watercolor truly blossomed. The Turtle Pound, painted in 1898, is a perfect example of this. It’s a work of remarkable confidence, with flowing pigments that become the very movement of the turquoise sea.
The artist places us at eye level with the two men, highlighting the intense sunlight that makes the turtle's underbelly almost glow. But look closer. This painting is more than a simple scene of labour. It tells a deeper story. During the 18th and 19th centuries, turtles, a traditional food source in the West Indies, became a prized export to the US and Britain. This work subtly touches on themes of empire and commerce, adding a fascinating layer of historical context to its visual beauty.
