Painting Charlieu P.Alix

Old painting in its original wooden frames. In good condition. Original signed p. Alix. Location: charlieu. Technique: painting on inverted glass. Painting on inverted glass (or painting under glass) is a difficult artistic technique that is performed directly on a sheet of glass. Glass supports painting as a canvas would. Welded to glass, it is through this support that we contemplate the work. Thus glass serves as both a support and a protective varnish. It is a cold painting technique so the process does not require baking. The pigment is bound to the glass by an oily vehicle most often based on varnish. Width: 48.5. Height: 34cm. Thickness: 4cm.
