Mrs. H. H. Wehrhane, Manchester, VT By descent to her nephew Berry-Hill Galleries, New York Luigi Lucioni enjoyed a fruitful relationship with the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, which had been established in 1918 in order to foster the abilities of young artists. The participants in the program resided at Laurelton Hall for the summer months, with no other restrictions than these: to make sketches inspired by the exquisite grounds and specimen plantings that they would then work up into finished paintings over the winter, and to not work from the model. Among the hundreds of artists who were admitted to the program were Paul Cadmus, Ilya Bolotowski, and Alan Dunn. There was no formal instruction, only the opportunity to work in a collaborative and supportive environment. Beginning in 1924 and continuing for a decade, for part of each year Lucioni painted at Laurelton Hall
in 1925 the financial support of the Foundation permitted him to travel to Italy for the first time since his childhood. Exposure while there to the work of Renaissance masters had a lasting impact on his work. This light-infused composition, painted in the impressionistic style of his early years depicts the crystal fountain and loggia at Laurelton Hall, to which fellows could gain entrance by special request. A portion of the loggia that survived the devastating 1957 fire that destroyed Tiffany's architectural masterpiece is an integral part of the American Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
