In the 1880s, James McNeil Whistler revolutionized the way artists
represented the city of Venice by producing images that moved away
from the major tourist monuments to depict the squares, back
alleys, and isolated canals that only residents knew. His novel
approach inspired generations of printmakers who worked in Venice,
and this book celebrates their work.
Ernest David Roth (1879-1964) was one of the most significant
American etchers of the first half of the 20th century, and his
most important achievements are the views he did of Venice between
1905 and 1941. Roth and his friends John Taylor Arms and Louis
Rosenberg formed the nucleus of a circle of American etchers that
created a timeless vision of European and American cityscapes and
landscapes in the 1920s and 1930s, and their Venetian views are at
the center of their accomplishment.
