Original Description
Moonlight washes over John La Farge’s mystical masterpiece Siva Dance at Night (c. 1860s-70s), where silvery orchid blossoms tremble against an inky void. The American artist, renowned for pioneering opalescent stained glass, here translates his fascination with luminosity into paint—cosmic purples and molten golds swirl around Siva’s celestial dance, blurring boundaries between decorative arts and Symbolist mysticism. Inspired by Hindu iconography yet filtered through Western Aestheticism, this rare easel painting reflects La Farge’s pivotal role bridging 19th-century Arts and Crafts movements with emerging modernism. Its hypnotic balance of precise botanical detail and abstract energy makes it a seminal work in America’s Japonisme wave, predating Whistler’s nocturnes by decades.
For interiors, Siva Dance at Night commands attention best in contemplative spaces—a meditation room’s accent wall or a collector’s study beside Arts and Crafts furniture. Its vertical composition (original dimensions approximately 22"x16") suits narrow alcoves; commission a custom walnut floater frame to echo the painting’s warm undertones. Pair with matte charcoal walls to intensify the luminous palette, or offset its drama in minimalist offices via muted saffron upholstery. In daylight, position opposite north-facing windows to animate its iridescent layers, or backlight with adjustable LED spotlights for nocturnal drama. The work’s spiritual charge harmonizes with indigo-dyed textiles or Tiffany table lamps, creating a curated dialogue between La Farge’s glasswork legacy and his painterly genius.*
