Ref: 4794
A fresh and colourful reverse painting on glass made by village artisans to sell at market to the peasants who liked to brighten their homes with these popular art objects. They did not like their religious art to be dreary and finger wagging but instead these copies of religious prints done on glass and presented in simple combed pine frames were a vehicle to express a sense of joy and human feeling.
