This gem of an exhibition illuminates the path from inspiration to expression by presenting a selection of Tiffany Studios’ nature study photographs along with the lush botanical lamps and windows that made the Studios famous.

Louis C. Tiffany’s tireless exploration of glass as a creative medium and his enduring love of nature’s beauty prevailed in his visionary artistic approach. He staffed his Studios with designers, artists, and artisans who shared his passion for the rich colors and sinuous forms found in nature. Their skill, along with the vast range of colors and effects available to them, made it possible for Tiffany Studios to translate natural forms faithfully into glass: velvety or paper-thin petals, waxy or veined leaves, dappled sunlight or shadow, and much more. Perpetually in bloom, Tiffany’s floral lamps and landscape windows embody his Studios’ hallmark sophisticated design and exquisite craftsmanship.
