Unique Murano Glass Sculpture, Dino Rosin, Face of Jesus, 20th Century, Venice
About the Item
What. A. Piece. Of. Art. This Murano glass sculpture is just stunning. The head of Jesus is made from mouth blown Murano glass. It is worked free hand on a punty in solid glass. It is fixed into a solid wooden 'cross'. It sticks out of the wood and gives you the feeling it 'floats'. The construction is simply brilliant and unique! The signature of the world famous glass artist Dino Rosin is carved in the wood. On the same side you'll find the Murano Venezia seal.
This item is a must have for everybody who is into christianity, Murano, glass, art of a combination of all three. The head of Jesus is deliberately made 'dusty' during the process. So it gets its refraction and coloring.
About the artist:
Dino Rosin was born in Venice, Italy on May 30, 1948.
His family moved to the glassmaking island of Murano when he was only two months old. At the age of twelve, he left school and began work as an apprentice at the Barovier and Toso glass factory where he remained until he joined his brothers, Loredano and Mirko, at their factory, Artvet, in 1963.Dino continued to work at Artvet until 1975 when he moved to Loredano's newly established studio as his assistant. There Dino collaborated with his brother for almost 20 years.
He was Loredano's right hand in the "piazza" and a master in his own right in cold work. In 1988, Dino Rosin was invited to Pilchuck Glass School in the state of Washington to teach solid freehand glass sculpture with Loredano and the American glass artist, William Morris.
Then in 1992, Loredano met an untimely death in a boating accident. Dino assumed the role of "maestro" and began single-handedly to produce his brother's old designs and ultimately his own.
