Success: You have added Vintage METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART New American Wing Tiffany Autumn Landscape POSTER to your shopping cart!
A fantastic original Metropolitan Museum Of Art 'Autumn Landscape' Poster, depicting the sublime 'Autumn Landscape' stained glass window by Louis Comfort Tiffany.A tour de force in its medium, this window, executed late in Tiffany’s career, portrays the late afternoon sun filtered through rich autumnal foliage. It was probably designed by Northrop, who was known especially for her landscapes and flowers. No paint was used to add detail; rather, the modelling, texture, and form were created solely with glass, using the full range developed at Tiffany Studios. The variegated surface was made by wrinkling glass in its molten state. Different colour effects were achieved by embedding tiny, confetti-like flakes of glass in the surface. Plating—the superimposition of several layers of glass on the back of the window—added depth. Although commissioned in 1923 by Loren D. Towle for the stair landing of his enormous neo- Gothic mansion in Boston, the window was never installed. In 1925. **AS-IS.**
