This book explores images of Venice in the written and visual art
of the multitalented American writer, painter, lecturer, and
engineer Francis Hopkinson Smith (1838-1915). A successful artist
and intrepid traveller, F. Hopkinson Smith spent every summer in
Venice for almost twenty years: his stays in the Italian city
resulted in a large output of watercolours and writings, including
his popular travelogue Venice of To-Day (1895), which featured over
200 illustrations by Smith himself. Despite Smith's popularity
during his lifetime, his reputation as a writer and painter faded
after his death and has occupied only a modest place in the
American canon. This is the first scholarly work to examine the
life and work of this unique American artist, whose legacy spans
two centuries and was grounded in the enduringly popular
fin-de-siecle. This book examines Smith's literary and visual
perception of Venice while illuminating the life and works of this
multifaceted artist, whose works are highly illustrative of the
era's mainstream American culture and its perception of foreign
spaces.
