Hopkinson Smith","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores images of Venice in the written and visual art of the multitalented American writer, painter, lecturer, and engineer Francis Hopkinson Smith (1838-1915). A successful artist and intrepid traveler, F. Hopkinson Smith spent every summer in Venice for almost twenty years: his stays in the Italian city resulted in a large output of watercolors and writings, including his popular travelogue \u003cem\u003eVenice of To-Day\u003c\/em\u003e (1895), which featured over 200 illustrations by Smith himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Despite Smith's popularity during his lifetime, his reputation as a writer and painter faded after his death and has occupied only a modest place in the American canon. This is the first scholarly work to examine the life and work of this unique American artist, whose legacy spans two centuries and was grounded in the enduringly popular \u003cem\u003efin-de-si鐵le\u003c\/em\u003e. This book examines Smith's literary and visual perception of Venice while illuminating the life and works of this multifaceted artist, whose works are highly illustrative of the era's mainstream American culture and its perception of foreign spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnese de Marchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680530534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680530537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academica Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Agnese de Marchi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127159582975,"sku":"9781680530537","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4f89cd1-ea50-4302-ad9e-417ebc1940e6.jpg?v=1687452155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-palette-and-pen-agnese-de-marchi-9781680530537","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
