Reverse Drinking Glass Painting

Following on from yesterday's post, Verre Églomisé - an introduction - I've learned a lot about reverse drinking glass painting - including that:

• it is every bit good known as Hinterglas icon if the heritage which informs it is Middle European as well as Germanic
• it's a shape of icon used inwards both mainland People's Republic of China as well as India
• a tradition every bit good developed inside North America every bit immigrants brought their folk fine art amongst them

I've every bit good been real impressed yesteryear some of the artwork I've seen - although there's every bit good a fair sum of 'folk art' which is rather less sophisticated.  As always, the deport upon of this technique real much depends on the science of the artist

See, for example, this icon yesteryear Jan van der Heyden which is in the Rijksmuseum Collection

For those who would every bit good similar to larn to a greater extent than most this art, I've rounded upward all the authoritative links to online data most this approach to making fine art which I could discovery on the Internet as well as created a novel website.  

See Verre Églomisé - Reverse Glass Painting for links to to a greater extent than data about:

• the history of contrary drinking glass painting

Obviously it's even as well as hence at an early on phase of evolution as well as I'd honey to demand heed most whatsoever to a greater extent than useful links which are non yet included and/or whatsoever artists who specialise inwards this field.
