John LaFarge (1835–1910)
La Farge, John (lä färj’). An American artist of the first rank; born in New York City, 1835; died on Nov. 14, 1910. He has executed remarkable paintings, altar pieces, and decorations of interiors—notably of Trinity Church, Boston; and designed stained-glass windows for churches and many other buildings, in the new American manner, which is a revival of the art of making colored glass (instead of painting glass), of which he was the originator, in association with Louis Tiffany. He published a volume of ‘Lectures on Art,’ and ‘An Artist’s Letters from Japan’; ‘Artist and Writer’; ‘Reminiscences of the South Seas’ (1912).
