Washington Allston American, 1779-1843 Landscape (Italy), circa 1828-1830 Oil on canvas 13 1/8 x 11 7/8 inches Provenance: Leslie George Katz and Jane Mayhall Katz, Baltimore Private collection Washington Allston's travels in Italy in 1805-08 provided the inspiration for the classically influenced landscapes that he would paint in the two decades that followed. This painting may be a study for Italian Landscape, a larger canvas painted around 1829-30 now in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Allston's use of glazes to produce rich color harmonies and delicate atmospheric effects, which led to his being called "the American Titian" are on vivid display here, expressing his idealization of Italy as a place of poetic and meditative experience.
