Black Point Inn Offers Winslow Homer Experience in Maine
Its natural beauty has drawn visitors to our Inn for nearly 140 years. For a lucky few, Prouts Neck has been called home. One person of particular note is Winslow Homer, one of America's greatest 19th century painters best known for his marine subjects.

The Winslow Homer Studio, one of the most significant locations in the history of American art, is where the great American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910) lived and painted many of his masterpieces from 1883 until his death. Purchased by the Portland Museum of Art in 2006, the renovated Winslow Homer Studio celebrates the artist's life, encourages scholarship on Homer, and educates audiences to appreciate the artistic heritage of Winslow Homer and Maine.
