Louis C. Tiffany Iris Landscape Apron

Leaded glass windows were among Louis C. Tiffany’s (American 1848-1933) most significant works.  This beautiful Modgy apron is inspired by one of the five panels which originally comprised “Good Shepherd with Landscape,” designed by Frederick Wilson (American 1858-1932).  Two of the panels are in the collection of the New-York Historical Society and reflect quiet moments in nature.  The panel adapted here captures the misty blue hues of a lakeside morning as purple irises strive for the first rays of sunlight.
