"Staircase (s./s./t. 43)" is an etching and drypoint created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Whistler, known for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement, was a master of etching and an influential figure in the late 19th-century art world. This particular work, produced in 1878, is part of Whistler's "Second Venice Set," also known as "A Set of Twenty-Six Etchings," which he created during his 14-month stay in Venice from 1879 to 1880.

The "Staircase" etching captures a quintessential Venetian scene with Whistler's characteristic attention to detail and atmospheric quality. The composition features a narrow, winding staircase leading up to a doorway, framed by the textured walls of the surrounding buildings. Whistler's use of line and shading in this piece demonstrates his skill in creating depth and mood, evoking the quiet, almost mysterious ambiance of Venice's hidden corners.

Whistler's Venice etchings, including "Staircase," were highly acclaimed for their innovative approach to capturing the city's unique light and architecture. Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on grand, panoramic views of Venice, Whistler chose to depict more intimate, lesser-known aspects of the city. This approach not only highlighted his technical prowess but also his ability to convey a sense of place and atmosphere.

"Staircase" is a testament to Whistler's belief in "art for art's sake," emphasizing beauty and composition over narrative content. The etching is celebrated for its delicate lines and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which together create a sense of depth and texture. Today, "Staircase" remains an important example of Whistler's contribution to the art of etching and his influence on the depiction of urban landscapes in the late 19th century.
