Particularly light-strong and colour-intensive reverse glass painting

The term reverse glass painting refers to glass pictures that are painted on the reverse side of a glass plate and are viewed from above. The painting on the reverse side of the glass intensifies the colours of the reverse glass paintings and thus creates a lasting lustre as well as increased richness of contrast. Originally very widespread in the late 18th and 19th centuries, for example as part of church window painting, these have become popular again in the 20th century and are convincing above all in technique and execution of the highest quality. In addition, the works with this technique are intensively protected from external influences such as light and dust, as they are almost sealed. Painting on reverse glass is becoming increasingly popular, currently more so in the field of contemporary and abstract painting.
