Description:

The paintings title refers to nautical time in which each half-hour of a four-hour watch is marked by a bell. Eight bells, therefore, could be either eight o’clock, twelve o’clock, or four o’clock. “Eight bells” can also be a way of saying that a sailor’s watch is over, for instance, in his or her obituary, as a nautical euphemism for “finished.” This painting shares a title with one of Winslow Homer’s most famous paintings, now in the Addison Gallery of American art in Massachusetts. N.C. Wyeth named his home in Maine “Eight Bells” after Homer’s painting.
