"oo" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PUB Fine Art Society; (London) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This subject was published in 'The First Venice Set', or 'Venice, A Series of Twelve Etchings', by the Fine Art Society, London, from 1880. This view of Venice suggests the illusion of a city floating on the water, the vast expanses of sea and sky are separated only by the distant buildings on the horizon. This theme of a floating city was explored by Whistler in both day and night views in the Venice series of etchings.
