Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) was an artistic giant of the Gilded Age who embraced virtually every medium. Looking to wildlife and botanical sources, he and other turn-of-the-century artists employed dragonflies as a favorite motif to convey the beauty and transience of the natural world.
