Enameling glass during the Renaissance. In the footsteps of glass artists between Venice and France.

Venetian enameled and gilded glass fascinated European courts in the late 15th and 16th centuries. Their success quickly led to the emergence of Venetian-style workshops throughout the rest of Europe. This phenomenon raises complex questions of attribution, which were compounded by a craze in the 19th century that resulted in the production of historicist pieces and fakes.
Bringing together art and science, this catalog embodies more than ten years of interdisciplinary research on enameled glass, extended to include 16th-century French production. It accompanies an exceptional exhibition featuring more than a hundred works and offers new perspectives on the artistic transfers at play in this prestigious production.
