Boats Julian Alden Weir American Experiments in pastel played an important role in Weirs transformation of his academic style into Impressionism about 1891. His Impressionism owes much to that of his friend John H. Twachtman, from whom he learned to use blue-gray paper and a delicate tonal palette and to applying pastel sparingly rather than seeking a more finished effect. Weir first exhibited his pastels with the Society of Painters in Pastel in 1888.

Date: 1780-93.Francesco Guardi succeeded Canaletto as the leading view painter in Venice in the second half of the eighteenth century. A prolific draftsman, his early drawings owe a debt to Canaletto's topographical style, while later sheets show a greater sensitivity to the changing light and atmosphere. Considered one of Guardi's "most beautiful and ambitious drawings," this expansive cityscape creates a broad perspective with an economy of lively brush and pen lines. The Giudecca Island is shown on the left, while Santa Maria della Salute and the entrance to the Grand Canal appear at right. A regatta is in progress. Although rendered at a distance in perspectival scale, many historic monuments are readily identified in the frieze of Venetian architecture. As no single vantage point could take in such

(35.2 x 49.2 cm). In this work, one of the latest of the watercolors in the 1909 purchase, Sargent used a small amount of clear wax on the right side of the larger boat in order to repel the blue washes and create highlights. This is the only watercolor in the collection from the 1909 purchase in which wax resist is found. Sargents use of this technique later increased significantly; most of Bostons watercolors purchased in 1912 contain wax. American Art 1908
