Original Description
John La Farge’s Water-lilies With Red And Green Pads envelops the viewer in a lush, dreamlike haze of color and light. Painted in the late 19th century, this exquisite work showcases La Farge’s mastery of watercolor, blending Japonisme influences with his own innovative approach to layered translucency. The delicate brushwork captures the play of light on water, with vivid red lily pads floating amidst emerald-green foliage, creating a harmonious yet dynamic interplay. As a pioneer of the American Aesthetic Movement, La Farge bridged realism and decorative abstraction, elevating still life into a meditative, almost spiritual experience. This piece stands as a testament to his experiments with color theory and his role in shaping modern decorative arts—preceding and even inspiring Impressionist explorations of similar themes.
For interiors, Water-lilies With Red And Green Pads would elevate spaces designed for tranquility and refinement. Its organic forms and rich hues pair beautifully with Japanese-inspired minimalism—think low wooden furniture, matte ceramics, and bamboo accents. The red tones can be echoed in terracotta vases or rust-colored textiles, while the greens harmonize with indoor plants like ferns or palms. Given its intimate scale (typical of La Farge’s watercolors), it shines best in a study, bedroom nook, or spa-like office, framed in a slender gilt or black lacquer border to enhance its elegance. Avoid cluttering the walls around it; instead, let it anchor a muted backdrop of taupe or soft gray. For lighting, warm, indirect illumination will amplify its luminous quality, making the watercolors appear to glow—an ode to La Farge’s original intent to capture fleeting natural light.*
