Peônias levadas pelo vento

John La Farge American
ca. 1880
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 743
John La Farge e Louis Comfort Tiffany transformaram radicalmente a arte de vitral nos Estados Unidos. Peônias levadas pelo vento, um dos primeiros vitrais de La Farge, tem sua origem nas peônias representadas em um rolo horizontal chinês. Entre 1879 e 1909, La Farge fez pelo menos sete vitrais sobre o mesmo tema, sendo este o primeiro. A decoração inclui variedades inovadoras e inusitadas de vidro: pedras preciosas, cabochão, vidro moldado e comprimido e vidro opalescente ondulado. Seu ar exótico de grande poder decorativo se deve à variedade de texturas e cores brilhantes. O vitral foi feito em Nova Iorque e instalado na mansão de Henry G. Marquand, em Newport, Rhode Island.
