Taming the Flamingo
Louis Comfort Tiffany
Circa: 1888
A rare and romantic watercolor by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Taming the Flamingo departs from his well-known stained glass work to explore mythic intimacy in painted form. A woman seated in soft lamplight extends her hand to a flamingo adorned with blossoms—its surreal presence enhanced by a dreamlike architectural setting. With Pre-Raphaelite elegance and Symbolist tone, the scene evokes themes of gentleness, beauty, and the taming of the exotic.
