The Morse Museum in Winter Park, Florida, houses the world's most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), including his chapel interior for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and art and architectural objects from his Long Island estate, Laurelton Hall.
American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany is most famous for his revolutionary and widely popular glass windows, lamps, and vases, but his contributions to late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century art and design were so much more. Tiffany was also a painter, photographer, interior decorator, and designer of ceramics, enamels, and jewelry. This book presents more than 200 of the artist's works from the renowned Tiffany collection of The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in chronological sequence, providing a biographical view of the man behind the famous glass.
