John La Farge was born in New York in 1835 to a wealthy and artistic family of French descent. He studied art in Paris and then with William Hunt at Newport, Rhode Island. However, he had a unique and complex mind capable of immense subtlety. He studied Japanese wash painting and mastered Mandarin Chinese. He also invented the process later known as Tiffany Glass. |
