James Abbott McNeill Whistler's Venetian Etchings - Prog 204 from Emmy Award winning PBS series Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop - Season Two. Join David as he takes us on a journey to the iconic Venetian locations that inspired the provocative artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler during his transformative trip in 1879-1880. After a disastrous libel trial with art critic John Ruskin, Whistler found refuge and inspiration in Venice and explored different effects in etching, dry point, and pastels. Venice proved to be a turning point in Whistler's career as it influenced his style and technique. The city's unique architecture, canals, and light became a major source of inspiration for him, and he produced some of his most iconic works during his time in Venice.
David demonstrates a dry point on copper plate alongside the Rio de San Barnaba canal, located near Whistler's first studio at the Ca' Rezzonico, showcasing Whistler's brilliance in graphic design.

Hi David! You have no idea what an impact you have made on many people, including me! I have immensely enjoyed the videos available on KZfaq from the Landscapes Through Time series. I would love to watch all seasons available, but sadly I have no idea where I would be able to. You are an incredible teacher and artist! I feel inspired to paint and learn more about art. Thank you so much for all you do and have done!

Thank you. Great historical discussion and demonstration. Makes me wonder did Whistler ever add color to his plates at the same time as inking?😃

Thank you for watching and for writing. What a great question! We know that Whistler used different inks and plate tone for his etchings and drypoint works. Kind regards, David and Connie
