Visiting thelace where homer lived and worked is john wilmerding, Deputy Director of the National Gallery of art. Homers studio was a remodeled stable set about 200 yards from a large summerhouse thatis older brother bought in 1883. Although homer was close to his family, he enjoyed the solitude his studio provided, but most of all, it was the ocean outside which reall made this place so important to him. The love of nature was very much a part of homers time. His family joined the growing number of americans in the late 19th century who could affor
