We spent an hour or two waiting for our daughter to move into college in Winter Park, FL, and took the opportunity to visit the Morse Museum of American Art. The museum houses a remarkable collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's work, which we were eager to explore further. A door from the chapel was particularly impressive, not only because it inspired awe but also due to its historical significance, as it had been displayed at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and may have been seen by my wife's ancestors. In 1893, Louis Comfort Tiffany showcased a chapel interior at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago that earned him widespread recognition among international artists, a rare achievement for American artists at the time. The chapel interior was set up in the Tiffany & Co. pavilion within the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. This image of the chapel door was captured using a Samsung S7 smartphone with 98 megapixel cameras and processed through Agisoft software at medium-low settings with one million pixels.
