Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass: American Artists and the Magic of Murano Barr Sheldon
A fascinating look at how Venetian glass influenced American artists and patrons during the late nineteenth centurySargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass presents the first comprehensive exploration of American engagement with Venice's art world in the late nineteenth century. Though the Venetian island of Murano had been a leading center of glass production since the Middle Ages, productivity bloomed between 1860 and 1915. During this time, Americans in Venice not only encountered a floating city of palaces, museums, and churches, but also countless shop windows filled with dazzling specimens of brightly colored glass.
This revival coincided with Venice's popularity as a destination on the Grand Tour, and resulted in depictions of Italian glassmakers and glass objects by leading American artists, including John Singer Sargent, James McNeill Whistler, Thomas Moran,
