Style of Arthur B. Davies, Art Nouveau Muses, Reverse Glass Painting

c. 1920

About the Item

Style of Arthur B. Davies Untitled (Muses), c. 1920 Reverse glass painting 19 x 24 in. Reverse glass painting is a form of art that consists of applying paint to a piece of glass to afterward view the painted picture through the other side of the painted glass. It has been popular in Europe since ancient times, and glass painted using this technique has even been found in Assyrian and Phoenician civilizations. Qualified as a "scientific art", reverse glass painting reached its peak during the Renaissance period, when it had widely influenced art in Venice, Italy. With time, glass painted compositions became more complex and the colors more harmonious, the virtuosity of the technique dizzying. (Sourced from Bellamy's World). Reverse glass painting was also very popular with American folk artists.
