A Corner of My Studio
ca. 1895
According to art critics, William Merritt Chase's New York studio resembled a museum. Inspired by the Aesthetic Movement, Chase decorated it with an extensive collection of antiques, including the Chinese bronze, Italian Renaissance chest, Spanish religious wall hanging, Turkish coffee urn, and German clock depicted here. These objects reflected the taste for opulence and exoticism during the Gilded Age, an era of increasing international tourism and trade in antiques.
