    Join us as Professor Emeritus Neill Slaughter presents his third in a series of glorious slide lectures, this time outlining for us how this largely self-taught Boston born artist, Winslow Homer, transitioned from Civil War illustrator to a preeminent American painter.  Homer was not only revered for his narrative figure paintings but also his majestic seascapes from the Caribbean to Maine, which you’ll learn all about in this beautifully illustrated presentation. The professor will present his lecture and then will be happy to take your questions, time permitting, at the end of this session.
