Product Details:

Home, Sweet Home by Winslow Homer was completed in 1863 at a time when the war had been raging for two years and there seemed to be no end in sight for either side. The painting is said to have been aimed at portraying the seemingly never ending saga of soldiers living away from the comfort of their homes and out on the move from one battle to the next. The painting features two Union soldiers, who can be identified as infantrymen based on their caps’ insignia, standing over a tattered tent. The two men have their gaze fixed upon the small fire at their feet which is likely warming a cup of stew or perhaps, coffee. The overall purpose of Homer’s work was to highlight and emphasize the immense degree of homesickness that each and every soldier must have faced—many of them leaving behind young wives and children who both the soldiers and their families were left having no idea whether their loved ones were safe or even still alive.
