Louis Comfort Tiffany - son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, who founded the jewelry store Tiffany & Co, - began his artistic career as a painter. 

Tiffany designed stained glass windows and lamps, glass mosaics, blown glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamels, and metalwork.

As a young man he headed an interior design firm and then went on to start Tiffany Studios, where skilled artists and artisans created works under his direction. In his designs Tiffany incorporated landscapes, exquisite floral patterns, and other natural forms in a spectrum of distinctly rich hues. Tiffany's exquisite craftsmanship, artistic innovation, and reverence for natural beauty made him one of the most influential designers of the past two centuries. 

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, Florida, home to one of the world's most comprehensive Tiffany collections.
