John La Farge (1835-1910), American painter, muralist, stained-glass

of his time.
John La Farge was born in New York City on March 31, 1835. He graduated
from Mount St. Mary's College in Emmitsburg, Md., in 1853, and studied
law in 1854-1855. He went to Europe in 1856 to study and travel,
remaining until the end of 1857. In Paris he met many prominent literary
and artistic figures and studied painting briefly with Thomas Couture.
In England, La Farge saw the work of the Pre-Raphaelite painters and in
Germany the rich collections of Old Masters. On his return to America he
decided to take up painting and settled in Newport, R.I., where he
studied with William Morris Hunt. In 1860 La Farge married.
