View of Santiago de Cuba

Winslow Homer, 1885

This painting shows a landscape with a village seen from above. The view includes red rooftops and a white church with dome-shaped structures. In the background, there are distant mountains in shades of purple, blue, and red. There are dark green trees on the left, in front of what looks like a pale body of water. Closest to us is a strip of green that suggests a hilltop. The sky above is cloudy, with shades of gray and cream. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and fluid.
