Gallery label: Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Winslow Homer worked for years as an illustrator before taking night classes in drawing and painting at the National Academy of Design in New York City. During the early 1870s Homer explored a single theme in different media. The oil painting The Boat Builders relates to a series of illustrations, prints and drawings devoted to the shipbuilding industry of Essex, Massachusetts and the maritime community of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Homer subtly connects the real nautical world with the children’s play by overlapping the toy boat and sailing ship on the horizon. Through their play the two boys may have been preparing for their future careers as fishermen, sailors or shipbuilders.
