Description
Reverse painting on glass is one of the rarest and most fragile of media, but the surviving examples have a delicate, luminous quality all of their own. This catalogue, published to accompany an exhibition of the unequalled Ryser collection at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, charts the history of this neglected art from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Almost 100 colour illustrations abundantly demonstrate the vitality and charm of these miniature portraits, landscapes and genre paintings.
