Welcome: Stained Glass Window from the Mrs. George T. Bliss House, New York 1908-9 John La Farge American John La Farge was Louis Comfort Tiffanys closest rival in the use of opalescent, colored, and textured glass. This window, completed the year before La Farges death, was one of his most complex works. Commissioned in 1908 by Mrs. George T. Bliss for her house at 9 East Sixty-Eighth Street in New York City, it features a young woman in classical garb welcoming visitors while drawing back a portiere—a replication in glass of a Chinese embroidered textile originally owned by the Bliss family. The cloisonné technique of joining together many tiny pieces of glass was used to evoke folds in the figures gown. Decorative panels with garlands and Pompeian ornament frame the window. The work took over a year to complete, but La Farge considered it “the finest piece of glass ever made.. I am proud of it beyond what I can explain.” Listen to experts illuminate this artwork's story Listen Pl
