ALT James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) Whistler (Portret van de kunstenaar), 1859 Whistler (Portrait of the Artist) From early in his career, Whistler crafted his self-image. He often wore a broad-brimmed straw hat, and a spotted cravat tied in Romantic style without the conventional white collar. With his slight build and white lock of hair, he stood out. He seemed to enjoy confrontations with critics who had insulted him or were unable to appreciate his art. Throughout his life, he fought for his artistic principles.

ALT James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) W. Jones, kalkbrander, Thames Street, 1859 W. Jones, Lime-Burner, Thames Street ets op papier Victoria and Albert Museum, Londen eching on paper Victoria and Albert Museum, London This etching is from The Thames Set, which Whistler made in London. London was a major port city, and The Pool, a section of the Thames, was a hive of activity. Whistler was fascinated by the ramshackle warehouses, run-down shipyards and endless bustle. The prints give a detailed, lively impression of the area and its people. According to poet and critic Charles Baudelaire, Whistler had the ability to capture the 'profound and intricate poetry of a vast capital.
