Frank Duveneck met JW in Venice in 1879/80, he and some of his students having
left for a two-year sojourn in Florence and Venice in 1879. He had first travelled to Venice in
1873, returning in 1877 along with W. M.
Chase and J. H. Twachtman. In Venice, JW spent some time in his studio on the Riva degli Schiavoni, and the two men began to experiment with etching. Duveneck etchings of Venice are large and bold in effect. They tend to be more detailed than those of JW. According to Bacher, Frank Duveneck painting The Riva, No. 2 (1880) so impressed JW, that he etched two versions of the same view, The Riva, No.1 (K.192) and The Riva, No.2 (K.206). |

| Henry James described him as 'a very good fellow' producing 'remarkably strong and brilliant work'. Frank Duveneck paintings in both oil and etching were shown at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and Royal Society of Painters-Etchers and Engravers in London, a society with which JW refused to be associated, probably because his brother-in-law Francis Seymour Haden was one of its founding members. Frank Duveneck, however, was a member from 1881 until 1889. When Frank Duveneck etchings were first shown at the Society in 1881, they were thought to have been executed by JW under an assumed name. JW published the story in a pamphlet, The Piker Papers. | |||||||

In 1915 Frank Duveneck received a gold medal for his portraits and paintings being shown at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. However, the American Art News in New York wrote disparagingly of Frank Duveneck painting, prompting David Croal Thomson, JW's former friend and dealer, to write a letter of defence. In 1918, following his death, Frank Duveneck received a letter from Cincinnati announcing a proposed memorial to the artist. | ||||||
