Monumental in both size and artistry, The Master Light of All Our Seeing is a magnificent oil on canvas that captures some of the greatest creative and scientific minds in history. It was painted in homage to the legendary Sidney Lanier, one of the most influential American poets of the 19th century who was also a remarkable musician, a novelist and a respected lawyer. Commissioned by his dear friend, the poet and patroness Frances Turnbull, and later owned by Johns Hopkins University, it is one of the most spellbinding works that has ever entered our collection.
