About the Item
A classic and elegant Venetian view with a period Barbizon, gold leaf frame! Sheppard did a series of these and two other American painter is more noted for their Venetian views than this artist.
Palazzo Dario is a classic composition from Warren Sheppard’s body of work done from an inspiring trip to Venice. Sheppard completed a number of works of Venice from when he traveled there sometime in the 1890’s. Such Venetian views along the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas are memorable for their light color palette and for the intimate recording of activity along these bustling waterways and are thus highly prized and coveted. Sheppard would have been influenced by many artists of this period doing technically accurate depictions of the Byzantine architecture and particular light of Venice.

Warren W. Sheppard
Warren Sheppard was born on April 10, 1858 in Greenwich, New Jersey along the Delaware River. This town was known as a seaport and shipbuilding center since the Colonial days. Sheppard’s father was a lumber ship captain and often took his son on trips along the river where the young boy was exposed to the sea and its ways. He studied painting under Mauritz Frederik de Haas (1832-1895), but received his formal artistic training at the Cooper Union, one of the nation's oldest institutions of higher learning, dedicated exclusively to preparing students for the professions of art and architecture. Sheppard was the essence and the personification of the Renaissance Man. He was first and foremost an artist, but he was also a teacher; a yacht designer as well as a yachtsman; and a navigator as well as the author of two books on navigation entitled, Practical Navigation and A Tale of the Sea which he also illustrated. Because Sheppard was intimately acquainted with the sea and its physicality coupled with his detailed knowledge of the design of the ships and their riggings, he was able to secure a number of commissions for illustrations in several well-known periodicals of the time such as the Brooklyn Eagle, the New York Herald Tribune, and the New York Sun.
