The Fog Warning
''The Fog Warning'' is one of several paintings by the late-19th-century American painter Winslow Homer (1836-1910) on marine subjects. Together with ''The Herring Net'' and ''Breezing Up'', painted the same year and also depicting the hard lives of fishermen in Maine, it is considered among his best works on such topics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Fog Warning: Halibut Fishing, 1885 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''The Fog Warning'', 1885 by Winslow Homer )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''The Herring Net'', 1885 by Winslow Homer )〕
==Background==
After initially making his reputation with paintings on themes related to the Civil War, in the late 1860s and through the 1870s Winslow Homer turned instead to painting people relaxing and at play: children, young women, genre paintings of farm and sea scenes. In 1881–82 he spent time in Cullercoats, in northeast England, and on his return to the US, settled for good in Prout's Neck, Maine, where his father and brother had recently purchased a large amount of land. His brother had spent his honeymoon in Prout's Neck in 1875, and Winslow had visited him then.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Winslow Homer )〕 In both these locations he returned to painting the sea with more serious themes, the hard and dangerous lives of the fishermen and their families, and "humankind’s life-and-death struggles against the sea and the elemental power of nature" throughout the rest of his career.〔
He had a studio built for him in Prout's Neck, which was completed in 1884. Here he painted ''The Fog Warning'', one of his three best paintings he completed there in 1885 depicting the lives of the local fishermen. These are considered among his best; the others are ''Lost on the Grand Banks'', and ''The Herring Net''.〔〔〔 Many of his late paintings, like ''The Fog Warning'', depict a single figure at sea.〔 Another theme in many of his paintings of the fisherman's life was the bounty of the sea, which also provides the people's livelihood; the two are combined in this painting, which was originally exhibited under the title ''Halibut Fishing''.〔
