"While all art reflects the cultural context in which it is created, the nature of American art, predominantly Romantic-Realism, makes the link between idea and image particularly visible. What becomes evident is that 'the Italian presence' was almost never a simple matter of direct influence; rather it was an experience for American artists that afford them, above all, insight and inspiration. Italy was America's muse." (dj).

Those decades between the Civil War and World War I brought to a climax the growing sense of American continental nationhood, and this strengthened perception of national identity was reflected in American art. A synthesis was achieved in which American values and images were fused with the great tradition flowing from its Italian source.… Read More
