John La Farge (1835 – 1910)
John La Farge (1835-1910): American painter & stained glass innovator captivated by Japanese art. Explore his luminous murals, pioneering techniques & lasting legacy.
With Louis Comfort Tiffany, John La Farge was a pioneer of stained-glass design in the United States. Watercolor was especially well suited for developing the designs because the transparency of the medium could suggest the glowing gemlike tones of the glass. Autumn Scattering Leaves, an allegorical representation of the season, was originally created as a stained-glass window proposal for a private home on Long Island. Although the patrons selected a different La Farge design of a figure in classical garb, the artist exhibited the lyrical watercolor as an independent work.
