A friend has an almost identical print on her wall which she was told was painted by Winslow Homer. I cannot find it online. So, I do not know the title. Does anyone know? Or did Winslow Homer paint such a picture?
Yes, that is Edward Hopper's. What I was asking about is one allegedly done by Winslow Homer that looks quite similar to Hopper's. If he (Homer) did one, what is its title? If he did not, somebody was misinformed.

Thank you.
W. Homer did many sea and water paintings (some were very realistic). Could this be the one you are
referring to?
Thank you but no. The one my friend has a print of is a doorway standing open with the sea outside, exactly like that which Edward Hopper painted. She bought it from one of these art prints catalogs. That is where she got the name Winslow Homer as the artist. So far, I have not found any evidence of such a picture done my Winslow Homer.
It is quite possible someone at the catalog company got thier artists mixed up.
The styles of these two artists are quite different. Plus, subject matter seems to take a different approach and of course there are decades of difference for the times in which they were painting and that is reflected in thier subject matter.

I also thought that - that the styles are different except perhaps the one that BaileyvPotter showed. So, if nobody here recognizes a similar picture for Winslow Homer, I say the catalog was wrong. We are all entitled to be wrong once in a while.
Homer did a lot of seascapes.
Is it possible your friend got the two names mixed up? Hopper and Homer sound very similar.
Could be. I'll not raise the issue with her. I only wanted to satisfy my own mind and, if the two did do almost identical paintings, see them. I think it is just a mixup.
Speaking of mixups, how often do you hear "Homer Winslow" as opposed to "Winslow Homer"? I confess I've done it a time or two in the past.
