LOUIS C. TIFFANY VIEW OF OYSTER BAY
View of Oyster Bay is a splendid example of Louis C. Tiffany’s leaded glass. Commissioned by silk industry magnate William C. Skinner, the scene has a strong resemblance to Oyster Bay, but was inspired by Wistariahurst, Skinner’s family estate in Holyoke, MA.
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, FL made an extended loan of the View of Oyster Bay to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1978, where the window continues to be one of the most popular by Tiffany today.
