The window was created in 1917 by Agnes Northrop, the principal landscape window designer at Tiffany Studios, and was one of the “most glorious windows ever produced by Tiffany Studios” standing 23 feet high by 16 feet wide. The placement in the Art Institute is the first object visitors experience when ascending the prominent Woman’s Board Grand Staircase. Of the window depicting a distant view of Mount Chocorua, one of the peaks of the White Mountains in New Hampshire, it has been said, “it will become an immediate icon of the Art Institute and the City of Chicago, on par with the greatest works of the museum.” Thank you, Antiquarian Society members, for your generosity! It is your commitment to the goals of our society which made this gift possible! https://antiquariansociety.org/history daily 0.75 2025-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b47d353b61e229d6b64f0/1602793609447-TETDRNBK1HX35AX058AE/image1.jpg History Marie Sheldon Scammon, Founder of the Antiquarian Society 1895, Anders Leonard Zorn, Swedish, 1860-1920, Oil on canvas Art Institute of Chicago Credit: Bequest of Mrs. Jonathan Y.
