The artwork titled “Library Lamp. Lotus, Pagoda design” was created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1905. Belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement, this piece is a part of the “Tiffany lampshades” series and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork features an intricate lampshade that embodies the elegance and fluidity typical of the Art Nouveau style. The lampshade resembles a lotus, with an elaborate pattern of green, mosaic-like glass pieces, mimicking the overlapping petals of the flower. The shade’s surface showcases a dazzling spectrum of green hues that are thoughtfully distributed, creating a sense of depth and movement. The base of the lamp is equally sophisticated, standing tall with a fluted design that complements the organic curves of the shade. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the artwork exemplify the luxury and aesthetic innovation associated with Tiffany’s designs, highlighting the harmonious blend of artistic creativity and functional design.
