Description
Alluding to the smoke, steam, and fire of the blast furnaces, steel mills, and other manufacturing and industrial works, the borough of Etna was named after the Sicilian volcano Mount Etna. The blast furnace Evans-Scott captured in the painting Etna Furnace was part of the extensive Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation mills that lined the Allegheny River across from Pittsburgh.
Louise Evans-Scott was a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. As a painter, her subjects included Pittsburgh bridges, steel mills and construction sites. Evans-Scott also worked as a runway model for the Vendome shops in Pittsburgh’s Kaufmann's department store.
