Rockwell Kent was a multi-talented and multi-disciplinary artist. He studied painting with William Merritt Chase and architecture at Columbia University. During his lifetime, he worked as a dairy farmer, ship's carpenter, and lobsterman, though he made a lasting mark in the art world as an illustrator and printmaker. Kent set new standards for simplified, modern design with his advertisements for General Electric and Rolls Royce, and he earned praise for his illustrations for Moby Dick in 1930.

In the summer of 1905, Kent went to the island of Monhegan, a rugged chunk of rock seventeen miles off the coast of Maine. While many artists only stayed on Monhegan during the summertime, Kent lived there in the winter of 1906, finding work as a well-digger, lobsterman, and carpenter. He eventually built a house and studio there, returning throughout his life. When Kent painted scenes of a fisherman's life in 1907, it was as a person who understood the danger and beauty of working at sea.
