Winslow Homer: Behind the Scenes

When the descendants of Winslow Homer gave his modest studio on Prout's Neck to the Portland Museum of Art, the museum's curators decided to leave it intact exactly as Homer had left it. Maine Experience executive producer Chris Sweet talks about the challenges of shooting video in such a tiny space, the treasure trove of artifacts left behind by Homer, and the sense of awe that he and MPBN videographer Chad Diamond felt shooting video in the studio where some of America's most famous artistic works were created. Get the story behind the shooting of some of the scenes in the Maine Experience segment about Homer's time on Prout's Neck.
