John La Farge: The Spirit of Autumn (c. 1900s) Vintage American Art Print

Bring the radiant, quiet beauty of the American Renaissance into your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features John La Farge’s The Spirit of Autumn, a breathtaking example of 19th-century atmospheric symbolism.

John La Farge was a master of color and light, famously known for his invention of opalescent glass. In The Spirit of Autumn, he translates that same luminous quality to the canvas. The allegorical figure—draped in rich, flowing fabrics—serves as a bridge between the human world and the divine spirit of nature. Influenced by his travels to Japan and his friendships with the Pre-Raphaelites, La Farge utilized a palette of deep golds, ambers, and emerald greens to create a 'visual poem' of the harvest season. It is a work that captures the moment of peak ripeness, where the warmth of the sun meets the cool air of transition.

Original La Farge works are prized for their complex layering and glowing, translucent color. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the subtle tonal shifts and the soft, ethereal light that defines his style. Printed on 100% cotton rag, acid-free matte paper, it ensures the rich autumnal hues and spiritual depth remain a focal point in your space for decades.

A sophisticated Statement Piece for a dining room, a traditional library, or a gallery wall dedicated to seasonal art. This John La Farge Print is an exceptional gift for art historians, lovers of classic Americana, and those who cherish the autumn season.
