EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Beach - Two are Company, Three are None" takes us back to 19th century America. Captured by an unknown artist and published in Harper's Weekly, this wood engraving showcases the remarkable talent of Winslow Homer. The scene unfolds on a sandy beach, where three figures stand amidst sand dunes and crashing waves. A woman dressed in a flowing dress and straw hat holds a parasol, shielding herself from the sun's rays. Beside her stands a man, their affectionate gazes revealing their deep connection as lovers. The composition exudes tranquility and solitude; it is evident that these two individuals have found solace in each other's company. The rowing boat nearby hints at leisurely adventures they may have embarked upon together. Homer's attention to detail brings life to this snapshot of 19th-century coastal living. The intricate engravings capture every fold of clothing, every grain of sand beneath their feet. As we gaze upon this image today at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), we are transported back in time to an era when simplicity reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds or time periods – even amidst vast landscapes like beaches, two souls can find comfort only in each other's presence. This print not only captures the essence of its era but also reminds us that true companionship can make any place feel like home.
