Peonias llevadas por el viento

John La Farge American
ca. 1880
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 743
John La Farge y Louis Comfort Tiffany transformaron radicalmente el arte del vitral en Estados Unidos. Peonias llevadas por el viento, uno de los primeros vitrales de La Farge, tiene su origen en las peonias representadas en un rollo horizontal chino. Entre 1879 y 1909, La Farge ejecutó por lo menos siete vitrales sobre el mismo tema. El primero de ellos fue éste, hecho en Nueva York e instalado en la mansión de Henry G. Marquand en Newport, Rhode Island. La decoración incluye variedades innovadoras e insólitas de vidrio: gemas, cabuchones, vidrio moldeado y prensado, y vidrio opalescente ondulado. El aspecto exótico, de gran poder decorativo, se debe a la variedad de las texturas y la brillantez de los colores.
