Winslow Homer – Snap the Whip

Painted in 1872, Snap the Whip captures the energy and innocence of childhood through a simple schoolyard game. Homer’s barefoot boys, racing across a sunlit field, became a symbol of optimism and unity in the years following the Civil War. Beneath its charm lies a quiet reflection on change—the breaking chain hinting at the challenges of a nation growing away from its rural roots. The painting remains one of Homer’s most beloved celebrations of youth and resilience.
