"The Virgin And St. John The Evangelist At The Foot Of The Cross" is a notable stained glass window created by the American artist John La Farge. Completed in 1880, this work exemplifies La Farge's innovative approach to stained glass, a medium in which he was a pioneering figure during the late 19th century. La Farge's contributions to the art form were significant, as he developed new techniques and materials that enhanced the aesthetic and expressive potential of stained glass.

The window depicts a poignant biblical scene, capturing the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist standing at the foot of the cross during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This moment is one of profound sorrow and spiritual significance, and La Farge's interpretation is noted for its emotional depth and technical mastery. The figures are rendered with a combination of realism and idealism, reflecting La Farge's ability to convey both human emotion and divine presence.

La Farge's use of opalescent glass, a material he helped popularize, allows for a rich interplay of light and color, giving the window a luminous quality that changes with the ambient light. This technique involves layering different types of glass to create subtle variations in color and texture, resulting in a dynamic and vibrant visual experience. The intricate leading and careful composition further enhance the narrative and symbolic elements of the scene.

"The Virgin And St. John The Evangelist At The Foot Of The Cross" is housed in the Church of the Ascension in New York City, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and spiritual impact. La Farge's work in stained glass, including this piece, has had a lasting influence on the field, inspiring subsequent generations of artists and contributing to the development of American stained glass as a respected art form.
