Vintage Indian Reverse Glass Painting. Mughal Prince Adorned With Silk & Jewels

A large vintage, highly ornate Indian. Set against a vibrant French blue ground. Period frame with raised dot and rolling scroll decoration, finished in. Depicted in the this delightful.

Posed image of a Mughal prince adorned by the trappings of wealth. His silk robes and sumptuous jewels painted in exquisite detail as befits his. Is very much in the Indian tradition, in which generation after generation of painters recreate images that have gone before with, no doubt, Indian minatures being used as inspiration in this respect. Tradition, an engraving is laid down on the back of the glass before water or gum arabic paints are applied. This is then fired in a kiln ensuring the paint bonds permanently with the glass. For obvious reasons, they are noted for their sheer brilliance, stunning clarity, rich colour palette.

And liberal use of gilding, as here. Indian glass paintings celebrate all things. In their choice of subject matter. Familiar themes being images of royalty, as here, as well as portraits of deities, mythological figures.

Epic themes, icons, and both ornamental and botanical themes from nature. Other reverse glass paintings are available from lacewing-interiors.
