The artwork titled “Tree of Life window” was crafted by the artist Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1931. Belonging to the Art Nouveau movement, also known as Modern Style, this piece falls under the genre of design and is part of the “Tiffany stained glass windows” series.
The artwork is an elaborate stained glass window featuring six circular vignettes arranged in a vertical sequence. Each vignette depicts a distinct scene encapsulated within ornate, round borders. The scenes narrate various aspects of human knowledge and experience, labeled as “Geology,” “Astronomy,” “Mystery,” “Religion,” “Creation,” and “Entombment.” These scenes are surrounded by lush, intricate patterns of colorful glass, bearing signature Art Nouveau style elements such as flowing lines and organic motifs. The overarching theme conveyed through the imagery and composition suggests a philosophical reflection on life, knowledge, and creation, all unified under the artistic and technical brilliance of Tiffany’s stained glass craftsmanship.
