Tiffany Studios, Impressionist Sunset Landscape Window, 1915

Leaded and plated glass, wooden gothic-style frame. Acid-etched mark 'TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1915'.

Catalogue Note: The flowers with their variegated pink and white petals surrounded by finger-like leaves of mottled and streaky green-blue opalescent glass carefully assembled using the copper foil technique, another Tiffany innovation, that seems to suggest a low Rhododendron bush among the rocks. Multiple plates on the reverse side help to develop the mix of shadow and highlight. On the right stand a few cedar trees stretching up along the side. You can see the heavily rippled glass used to add texture and highlight to the boughs. They sit atop a bluff that looks over a lake. An almost silhouetted outcropping of land and a layer of wispy opalescent glass helps to push the mountain into the distance. The sky with multiple layers of wispy opal and selectively etched red flashed glass create a warm hue of what could be viewed as a sunset or sunrise, the sky along with the trees reach up into the quatrefoil kites above.

Literature: Alastair Duncan, Tiffany Windows, New York, 1980, pgs. 168-9 (for related examples).

Ht. 5 ft 9 in W 23 3/8 in. D 1 1/2 in.
