"Persian Arabesque" is a stained-glass window created by John La Farge in 1882. The artwork is now located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. La Farge, a renowned American artist known for his masterful use of color and light, designed this window with an intricate, symmetrical pattern of leaves and flowers, reminiscent of Islamic art. The use of clear and opalescent glass in a delicate, geometric arrangement creates a visually captivating effect. The window's title suggests a direct influence from Persian arabesque art.
