"The Two Doorways" is an etching created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1879-1880. Whistler, renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, produced this work during his time in Venice. The etching is part of the "First Venice Set," also known as "Venice, a Series of Twelve Etchings," which Whistler created following his commission by the Fine Art Society of London to produce a series of works capturing the essence of Venice.

"The Two Doorways" exemplifies Whistler's mastery of etching and his keen eye for architectural detail and atmospheric effects. The composition features a view of two adjacent doorways along a Venetian canal, framed by the intricate and weathered facades of the buildings. Whistler's delicate line work and subtle use of shading convey the texture of the stone and the play of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism. The reflections in the water and the careful rendering of the architectural elements showcase Whistler's ability to capture the serene and timeless quality of Venice.

Whistler's etchings from this period are celebrated for their departure from the more traditional, picturesque views of Venice, instead offering intimate and often overlooked aspects of the city's architecture and daily life. "The Two Doorways" is a testament to Whistler's innovative approach to composition and his skill in capturing the mood and atmosphere of his surroundings. The work reflects his broader artistic philosophy, emphasizing beauty and harmony over narrative content.

Today, "The Two Doorways" is held in various public and private collections, admired for its technical excellence and its contribution to the legacy of Whistler's Venetian works. The etching remains a significant example of Whistler's impact on the art of etching and his enduring influence on the depiction of urban landscapes.
