Europe » Colourful Folk Painting on Glass
Ref: 5629
Folk art reverse painted religious scene in original painted pine frame, made in Transylvania in the early to mid 20th century, not really very religious at all, and this one quite abstract, a composition of broad colour shapes with brisk drawing in colour, more like modern art than anything you would call an ‘icon’. Made by and for the peasantry to brighten their homes, quintessential Romanian folk creation.
