Tiffany (1848-1933), National Academician\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLouis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) was one of the most influential American artists and designers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He began his career as a painter and was elected an Associate National Academician in 1871 and a full National Academician in 1880. His reputation soon expanded far beyond painting as he became internationally known for stained glass, interiors, lighting, metalwork, enamels, pottery, jewelry, mosaics, and decorative glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTiffany was an artist, artistic director, innovator, and entrepreneur who oversaw a complex network of workshops and companies devoted to bringing art into the American interior. He was also skilled at recognizing extraordinary artistic talent—some of those artists are represented in the Museum—and employing artists and craftspeople across his various enterprises. His companies produced everything from individual lamps and decorative objects to complete interior commissions, with Tiffany serving as the central artistic force behind their production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis achievements were recognized internationally. At the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, Tiffany exhibited lamps, enamels, mosaics, art glass, and windows and was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre National de la Légion d’honneur by the French government, one of France’s most distinguished honors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe historic lamp that inspired the American Tapestry emblem features an unusual enameled wire-mesh shade decorated with grapevines, fruit, foliage, and butterflies, while its openwork metal base incorporates two heraldic lions facing one another. The lamp also incorporates Favrile glass, the iridescent art glass closely associated with Tiffany’s furnaces and artistic production. It brings together Tiffany’s recurring interest in nature with the elaborate metalwork, glassmaking, and craftsmanship associated with his later decorative work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Rare Tiffany Furnaces Butterfly Lamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTiffany’s work is preserved in major museum collections throughout the United States, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
