Title: Cherry Blossoms Against Spring Freshet
Date: 1882-1883
Artist: John La Farge (1835-1910)
Type of art: stained-glass window - Pressed, stained, and opalescent glass with lead cames.
Note: John La Farge introduced opalescent glass to windows and experimented with several other techniques. This piece was made for the Michael Jenkins House in Baltimore and is an example of Japonisme in later 19th-century American art.
Japonisme is a French term that refers to the popularity and influence of Japanese art and design in western Europe in the nineteenth century following the forced reopening of trade of Japan in 1858. Japonisme was first described by French art critic and collector Philippe Burty in 1872.
While the effects of the trend were likely most pronounced in the visual arts, they extended to architecture, landscaping and gardening, and clothing. Even the performing arts were affected; Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado is perhaps the best example.
