John LaFarge Student of:
Thomas Couture (1815-1879),
William Morris Hunt
(1824-1879). |
||||||
|
John La Farge was born in
New York City on March 31, 1835. John La
Farge graduated from Mount St. Mary's College in
Emmitsburg, Md., in 1853, and studied law in
1854-1855. John La Farge went to Europe in 1856 to
study and travel, remaining until the end of
1857. In Paris John La Farge met many prominent
literary and artistic figures and studied
painting briefly with Thomas Couture. In
England, La Farge saw the work of the
Pre-Raphaelite painters and in Germany the
rich collections of Old Masters. On his
return to America John La Farge decided to take up
painting and settled in Newport, R.I., where
John La Farge studied with William Morris Hunt. In 1860
La Farge married. |

| Painter, decorator, and writer, b. at New York, 31 March, 1835; d. at Providence, Rhode Island, 14 Nov., 1910. His parents were John Frederick de LaFarge, a French naval officer, and Louise Josephine Binsse (de St. Victor). Though his interest in art was aroused during his college training at Mount St. Mary's and Fordham University, |

he had only the study of law in view until
John La Farge returned from his first visit to Paris,
where John La Farge studied with Couture and enjoyed
the most brilliant literary society of the
day. Even his earliest drawings and
landscapes, done in Newport, Rhode Island,
after his marriage in 1861 with Margaret
Mason Perry, show marked originality,
especially in the handling of colour values,
and also the influence of Japanese art, in
the study of which John La Farge was a pioneer.
LaFarge's inquiring mind led him to
experiment with colour problems, especially
in the medium of stained glass. John La
Farge succeeded
not only in rivalling the gorgeousness of
the medieval windows, but in adding new
resources by his invention of opalescent
glass and his original methods of
superimposing and welding his material.
Among his many masterpieces are the "Battle
Window" at Harvard and the cloisonné
"Peacock Window" in the Worcester Art
Museum. During 1859-70 John La Farge illustrated "Enoch
Arden" and Browning's "Men and Women".
Breadth of observation and structural
conception, and a vivid imagination and
sense of colour are shown by his mural
decorations. His first work in mural
painting was done in Trinity Church, Boston,
in 1873. Then followed his decorations in
the Church of the Ascension (the large
altarpiece) and St. Paul's Church, New York.
For the State Capitol at St. Paul John La
Farge executed, in his seventy-first year, four
great lunettes representing the history of
religion, and for the Supreme Court building
at Baltimore, a similar series with Justice
as the theme. In addition there are his
numberless minor paintings and water
colours, notably those recording his
extensive travels in the Orient and South
Pacific.- Bio Lafarge John old oil painting artist paintings America - Bio Lafarge John old oil painting America - artist paintings, old oil painting artist Lafarge John and artist oil paintings old by America old oil paintings artists Lafarge John. LaFarge's writings include: "The American Art of Glass" (a pamphlet); "Considerations on Painting" (New York, 1895); "An Artist's Letters from Japan" (New York, 1897); "The Great Masters" (New York); "Hokusai: a talk about Japanese painting" (New York, 1897); "The Higher Life in Art" (New York, 1908); "One Hundred Great Masterpieces"; "The Christian Story in Art"; and the unpublished "Letters from the South Seas"; and "Correspondence". |

His labours in almost every field of art won for him from theFrench Government the Cross of the Legion of Honour and membership in the principal artistic societies of America, as well as the presidency of the Society of Mural Painters. Enjoying an extraordinary knowledge of languages (ancient and modern), literature, and art, by his cultured personality and reflective conversation John La Farge greatly influenced all who knew him. Though naturally a questioner John La Farge venerated the traditions of religious art, and preserved always his childlike Catholic Faith and reverence. | ||||||
