Early 19th Century Reverse Glass Painting of Saint Anne

About the Item

This exquisite reverse glass painting from the early 19th century features Saint Anne, a revered figure in Christian tradition, known as the mother of the Virgin Mary and patron saint of mothers, teachers, and women in labor. Her depiction in art symbolizes nurturing wisdom and guidance, making this piece both spiritually meaningful and visually captivating. Reverse glass painting, a technique dating back to the Middle Ages and popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries, involves painting on the back of a glass pane. This method creates a vivid, luminous effect, enhanced by the glass’s reflective surface. The process requires remarkable skill, as the artist must paint in reverse order, beginning with the fine details and layering the background last. This particular piece is mirrored, adding a further dimension of light and depth that accentuates its beauty. Despite its age, the original colors remain vibrant, showcasing the artist’s delicate hand and attention to detail. However, the painting has sustained two visible cracks. This reverse glass painting is not only a striking example of antique craftsmanship but also a meaningful decorative piece for your home. Whether displayed as a centerpiece on a mantel, integrated into a gallery wall, or placed in a devotional corner, it will bring a sense of history and reverence to any space. A true treasure for collectors of sacred art and enthusiasts of rare techniques, this painting embodies the enduring beauty of religious devotion and artistic mastery.

Hand-Painted Icon of the Madonna, Mid-19th Century

Located in Hamburg, DE

This stunning hand-painted icon from the mid-19th century is a remarkable example of religious art steeped in tradition and spiritual symbolism. Icons have long held a significant role in Orthodox Christianity, serving as windows to the divine and tools for prayer and contemplation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece exemplifies the skill and devotion of its maker. The wooden panel and frame are entirely gilded, lending the icon a luminous and reverent quality. The outlines of the Madonna have been finely etched into the gilding, while her face and hands, along with those of the Christ Child, are delicately painted in oil. This contrast between the warm glow of the gold and the naturalistic rendering of the figures creates a powerful visual and emotional impact. Adding to its authenticity, the base of the icon features a Cyrillic inscription, hinting at its origins and cultural significance. The craftsmanship and style suggest it was created during the mid-19th century, making it not only a sacred object but also an invaluable piece of history. This icon is a perfect addition to any collection of religious art or as a meaningful decorative piece for your home. It can be displayed in a devotional space, hung on a gallery wall, or placed on a shelf to create a focal point that inspires reflection and reverence. Whether you are an experienced collector or a first-time buyer, this gilded icon...
