The Allure of Venice

The Whistler House Museum of Art is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, The Allure of Venice.  No other city inspires and moves an artist’s emotions and imagination like Venice. Along with artists such as James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, Walter F. Lansil (1846–1925) found some of his richest inspiration in this timeless city during the period they all spent there in the 1880s. A quintessential New Englander, Lansil discovered endless beauty and enduring subjects, which would continue to influence his painting for the rest of his life. For the first time, the most noteworthy maritime and Venetian works of this prolific artist are gathered in a lavish exhibition.
