  • Mayor's Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events Boston Art
    Mayor’s Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events Boston Art Commission 100 Public Artworks: Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the Financial District and the North End 1. Lief Eriksson by Anne Whitney This life-size bronze statue memorializes Lief Eriksson, the Norse explorer believed to be the first European to set foot on North America. Originally sited to overlook the Charles River, Eriksson stands atop a boulder and shields his eyes as if surveying unfamiliar terrain. Two bronze plaques on the sculpture’s base show Eriksson and his crew landing on a rocky shore and, later, sharing the story of their discovery. When Boston philanthropist Eben N. Horsford commissioned the statue, some people believed that Eriksson and his crew landed on the shore of Massachusetts and founded their settlement, called Vinland, here. However, most scholars now consider Vinland to be located on the Canadian coast. This piece was created by a notable Boston sculptor, Anne Whitney. Several of her pieces can be found around the city. Whitney was a fascinating and rebellious figure for her time: not only did she excel in the typically ‘masculine’ medium of large-scale sculpture, she also never married and instead lived with a female partner. 2. Ayer Mansion Mosaics by Louis Comfort Tiffany At first glance, the Ayer Mansion seems to be a typical Back Bay residence. Look more closely, though, and you can see unique elements decorating the mansion’s façade. Both inside and outside, the Ayer Mansion is ornamented with colorful mosaics and windows created by the famed interior designer Louis Comfort Tiffany.

  • Note: See the Tour Map Numbers That Correspond with the Following Text
    Note: see the tour map numbers that correspond with the following text. 1. Cambridge Common The Cambridge Common is the City’s oldest public open space. In its present form, the Common consists of 8-1/2 acres of land, which is all that remains of the thousands of acres of common land that were granted to the original proprietors of Cambridge in 1630. During Colonial times, the Common was a place for military drill. The Common was originally landscaped as a park in 1830 and contains many commemorative monuments. 2. Brattle Street Cambridge’s most famous street, Brattle Street is known for its history and architecture. Most of the City’s remaining pre-Revolutionary era houses are located on Brattle Street, which is often called Tory Row because of the loyalist owners who built these old homes. The street boasts examples of the work of some of America’s best architects. Note the H. H. Richardson-designed Stoughton House (1883) at #90, the Vassal-Craigie-Longfellow House (1759) at #105, and the Hooper-Lee-Nichols House (1685) at #159. 3. Reservoir Street In 1856, the Cambridge Water Works constructed a steam pump on the shore of Fresh Pond from which the water was driven uphill through iron pipes to a reservoir on the Fayerweather estate. From Reservoir Hill, the water flowed by gravity to Old Cambridge. 4. Fresh Pond This natural landscape feature is a spring-fed lake, formed by a melting glacier. In the mid-eighteenth century, the shores were used as a wealthy resort destination. By the nineteenth century, the capability of Fresh Pond as a major ice harvesting supply was realized.

"I work with glass so that it will reflect nature and be alive to light, constantly changing like all things in nature," Lichtman says. "I tear away the surface of the glass with hydrofluoric acid or build up layers of paints, transparent enamels, and silver stain to increase richness and density." From this hazardous process emerges the most delicate of designs. Lichtman explains that each specific piece of glass etches differently. The result is the abstract imagery in "Landscape Frieze in Glass," which illumines the large window in the Cambridge Senior Center, as though the glass itself contained the light. Lichtman earned her BFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art in 1974. She studied with a master glass artist Patrick Reyntiens at Burleighfiled House in England and apprenticed to other glass artists in the U.K., Canada and Germany before continuing studies at the Museum School in Boston.
