The industrial revolution had made inexpensive, mass-produced glass available to anyone, but art glass remained an emblem of wealth and good taste. This window and a companion piece were commissioned by Frederick Lothrop Ames, a railroad magnate who had them installed in the vast, baronial hall of his Boston house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peacock’s tail feathers are made of bits of glass in the “broken jewel” technique; each peony blossom is a single piece of glass molded to catch the light differently through the day. La Farge (American, 1835–1910) layered his colored glass as a painter would build glazes of colors to achieve the right shade. For the composition, he borrowed from many cultures: the central panel with the bird-and-flower motif evokes Chinese and Japanese screens; the lower panel emulates Pompeian architecture; and the transom above recalls the tympanum above the door to a Romanesque cathedral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, these 500-piece jigsaw puzzles combine superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzleworkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn La Farge (American, 1835–1910)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeacocks and Peonies II\u003c\/em\u003e, 1882\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⚠️WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts.\u2028 Not for children under 3 years of age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"POMEGRANATE CALENDARS BKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33369939771455,"sku":"AA733","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/4009\/8629\/products\/peacocks-and-peonies-ii-500-piece-jigsaw-puzzle-112.jpg?v=1613697792","url":"https:\/\/canvasrto.shop\/products\/peacocks-and-peonies-ii-500-piece-john-la-farge-puzzle","provider":"Bird in Hand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
