A biography of the American painter Ralph W. Curtis (1854-1922), of
the Boston family who bought the Palazzo Barbaro on the Grand Canal
in Venice in 1885. After graduating at Harvard, Curtis moved to
Paris to study art with Carolus Duran, where he met his distant
cousin John S. Sargent, with whom he travelled to Holland to see
Franz Hals’s paintings. He exhibited at the Paris salons, at the
Royal Academy of Arts in London, at the Venice Biennale in the
1880s. At Palazzo Barbaro he met Robert Browning, Henry James, but
also Venetian painters such as Ettore Tito and Antonio Mancini. He
travelled widely, even to Japan and India. His works are in
American Museums and private collections.
