AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This glass sculpture depicts a fish, gracefully captured in a moment of movement. The sculpture harmoniously combines transparency with vibrant colors. The body of the fish shows a flowing transition from deep blue-green to a soft pink hue, rendering the dynamics and beauty of underwater life in an impressive way. The fins and tail are clear and elegantly shaped, with fine ridges that playfully break the incoming light and thus create a constantly changing display of color. Through the transparency of the glass, the fish appears almost weightless, as if it is floating through the water.
The artwork is created by Alfredo Barbini, one of the most prominent glass artists of Murano in the twentieth century. Barbini was born in 1912 on the islands of Murano, located in the Venetian Lagoon in Italy. He grew up in a family with a rich tradition in the glass industry; both his parents and earlier generations were active as glassblowers and beadmakers. Thanks to this background Barbini developed exceptional craftsmanship at a young age. His work is valued worldwide for the combination of technical perfection, artistic expression and innovative use of color and form. This sculpture is a wonderful example of that and reflects the mastery tradition for which Murano glass art has become so famous.
Dimensions: 42 x 40 x 11 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible.
