CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Throughout his career, Whistler was fond of exploring the subject of doorways. In his Venice etchings, he took the opportunity to experiment with chiaroscuro effects, and the contrast of light and shadow in the mysterious openings and passageways of the city. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50592). (See also GLAHA 46881-46884).
