Snap The Whip Art Print

Oil on canvas by Winslow Homer - 1872. Children were depicted by many artists and writers during the 1870s as embodiments of innocence and the promise of America�s future. An image such as this one would have evoked nostalgia for the nation�s agrarian past, as the population shifted to cities and the little red one-room schoolhouse faded from memory. Released from their lessons, eight exuberant boys engage in a spirited game. Their bare feet signal the freedom of childhood, and the game, which requires teamwork, strength, and calculation, may have alluded to the challenges faced by the reunited republic.
