Study for a Stained Glass Window, c.1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white drawing by the renowned American artist John La Farge. This masterpiece, created around the mid-19th century, is a testament to the artist's exceptional talent and innovative approach to stained glass design. La Farge, known for his groundbreaking work in the field of stained glass art, meticulously crafted this study using black crayon on ivory laminate board. The image portrays a solitary figure, likely the artist himself, intently focusing on a design for a stained glass window. The man is depicted in profile, his intense gaze fixed on the paper before him, a quill pen in hand, and a stack of design sketches nearby. The background of the drawing reveals a glimpse into the artist's creative process, with various concepts and ideas for stained glass designs scattered about. Some designs feature intricate geometric patterns, while others depict scenes of warfare and weaponry, reflecting the historical context of the time. This study offers a rare glimpse into the mind of an artist at work, as he explores the possibilities of the medium and pushes the boundaries of traditional stained glass design. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to house this significant work in its impressive collection, allowing us to appreciate the depth and richness of American art history. John La Farge's "Study for a Stained Glass Window, c.1875" is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a valuable historical document that sheds light on the artistic process and the evolution of stained glass art in the United States during the 19th century.
