Winslow Homer - The Fog Warning
The Romance . . .
Fog Warning is a painting with a narrative, though its tale is disturbing rather than charming. As indicated by the halibut (?) in his dory, the fisherman in this picture has been successful. But the hardest task of the day, the return to the main ship, is still ahead of him. He turns to look at the horizon, measuring the distance to the mother ship, and to safety. The seas are choppy and the dory rocks high on the waves, making it clear that the journey home will require considerable physical effort. But more threatening is the approaching fog bank, whose streamers echo, even mock, the fisherman’s profile
