"Halt of the Wise Men" (1878-79) is a stained glass window designed by the American artist John La Farge (1835–1910). La Farge, renowned for his innovative work in stained glass and his contributions to American art during the late 19th century, created this piece as part of his exploration into the use of light and color in glasswork. The window depicts a scene from the biblical account of the Magi, or Wise Men, who are said to have visited the infant Jesus after his birth, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

La Farge's "Halt of the Wise Men" is notable for its use of opalescent glass, a technique that he pioneered. This method involves layering and manipulating glass with varying degrees of translucency to create a rich palette of colors and a sense of depth and texture. The window is a testament to La Farge's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through the interplay of light and color.

The artwork reflects La Farge's interest in religious themes and his dedication to the revival of stained glass as a fine art during the American Renaissance, a period of renewed interest in the arts and culture of antiquity and the Renaissance. "Halt of the Wise Men" is an example of La Farge's contribution to the American decorative arts and his influence on the development of American art in the late 19th century.

The window was commissioned for a specific location, and its dimensions and design were tailored to fit the architectural context for which it was intended. Today, "Halt of the Wise Men" is recognized as an important work in the history of American stained glass and is studied for its artistic and historical significance. It is one of several works by La Farge that continue to be admired for their beauty and craftsmanship, and it contributes to the legacy of the artist as a leading figure in the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
