such as the National Academy of Design in New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Due to the popular appeal of Haberle's style and subject matter, his work was also shown in venues not conventionally known for displaying art, such as bookstores, saloons, liquor stores, and hotels. By 1893, eye problems caused Haberle to move away from making detailed work, although he continued to paint. Among his later works are paintings of flowers executed in a looser style, and in 1909 he painted his final trompe-l'œil, the large Night, in the collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, Connecticut. Haberle died in 1933 in New Haven, Connecticut, and was then interred at New Haven's Evergreen Cemetery. Notes References Frankenstein, Alfred (1970). The Reality of Appearance.
