THE TECHNIQUE OF REVERSE PAINTING ON GLASS DEVELOPED IN CHINA BETWEEN 1750 AND 1950. IT IS DUE TO THE FORTUNATE ARTISTIC ENCOUNTER BETWEEN CHINESE AND EUROPEAN PAINTING. WHILE INITIALLY THE 18TH CENTURY PRODUCTION OF SUCH ARTEFACTS WAS AIMED SOLELY AT THE WESTERN MARKET, CHINESE GLASS PAINTING LATER BECAME A POPULAR ART FORM THAT ALSO SPREAD TO ITS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.IS A 'REVERSE' PAINTING IN WHICH THE DETAILS OF THE REPRESENTATION ARE REALISED FIRST. THIS IS THE CASE FOR THE GOLDEN DECORATIONS AND OUTLINES THAT DEFINE CHARACTERS, LANDSCAPES AND ARCHITECTURE, WHILE THE FILLER AND BACKGROUND COLOURS ARE REALISED LAST. SOME COLOUR FIELDS ARE REALISED BY OVERLAPPING TWO OR MORE COLOURS, EXPLOITING THE TRANSPARENCY EFFECT OF THE GLASS. GLASS PAINTING REQUIRES A GREAT DEAL OF SKILL AND PATIENCE. THE COLOURS USED ARE VERY LIQUID AND DELICATE, SO SEVERAL LAYERS OF PAINT ARE REQUIRED, EXECUTED WITH EXTREME PRECISION.THESE WORKS ON GLASS WERE HIGHLY PRIZED AT THE CHINESE IMPERIAL COURT BEFORE BECOMING SO FASHIONABLE IN EUROPE. THE EUROPEAN ARISTOCRACY AND BOURGEOISIE, LATER THE AMERICAN UPPER CLASSES, ORDERED A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE CHINESE PAINTINGS ON GLASS, OFTEN BASED ON EUROPEAN PRINTS SENT TO CHINA FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE. FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS, THIS ART MARKED THE CULTURAL CLIMATE OF EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA, BEFORE INSPIRING FOLK ART IN CHINA TO THE PRESENT DAY. REVERSE GLASS IMAGES BECAME FASHIONABLE IN THE 18TH CENTURY. GLASS PANELS WERE SENT FROM EUROPE TO CHINA BY SEA, WHERE THEY WERE PAINTED TO ORDER, FRAMED AND THEN RETURNED TO THE WEST FOR INCLUSION IN CHINESE-INSPIRED INTERIORS.
