Northeaster is one of several paintings on marine subjects by the late-19th-century American painter Winslow Homer. Like The Fog Warning and Breezing Up, he created it during his time in Maine.[1] It is on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Viewers are presented a struggle of elements between the sea and the rocky shore.[2] Winslow Homer excelled in painting landscape paintings that depicted seascapes and mountain scenery. [3][4]
