Nocturne

Artist: James Whistler
Artwork: Nocturne: Palaces
Description: Nocturne: Palaces is an 1879 etching by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The etching is based on Whistler’s 1878 painting of the same name, which is now in the collection of the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The etching is a dark and moody image of a Venetian canal at night. The only light comes from the few lamps that are reflected in the water. The etching is a masterclass in Whistler’s use of line and tone, and it is considered to be one of his finest works.
