Magnolia and Irises, ca. 1908
Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933); Tiffany Studios
Leaded Favrile glass
As beautiful as this is, we are slightly accustomed to the heights of craftsmanship L.C. Tiffany achieved in glass. Imagine, 100 years ago, seeing this virtual oil-painting in glass and being 100 times as awed by this sumptuous pastoral scene. I still can't figure out how he throws that bit of haze over the water of the river. Simply stunning.
