“Murano – Fragile”… at the Musée Maillol…
Spellbound….
By the… beauty….
Of the… glass art…
At… the…
“MURANO – FRAGILE“…
“Chefs-d’œuvre de verre de la Renaissance au XXIe siècle“…
Exhibition… at the…
Musée… Maillol…
I was… reminded…
Of a… hazy morning…
In… Venice…
When I was… escorted…
From the Gritti Palace… via the charming…
Venetian “façon“… of transport…
The private… water boat…
To the world renowned centre… of master glassmaking…
Situated on a cluster of islands… linked by bridges on the Venetian Lagoon…
The… Murano Islands…
A… memorable trip…
Today…
On a… lovely day…
À… Paris…
Visiting… the Murano exhibition…
The bold… mystical…
The magical… glass of Murano…
Was as… inspirational.
“Glass in… Medieval Venice“…
“The Early and Mid-Renaissance… 1450-1530″…
“The Late Renaissance… 1530-1600″…
“The Fantasy and Virtuosity… 17th and 18th centuries”…
To… the…
“Decline and Renewal… 19th century”…
Until the… “20th century… Designers and Artists in Murano”…
“Today… master glassmakers and artists join forces to weave new magic by fusing creativity with centuries of savoir-faire“…
The “MURANO – FRAGILE“ exhibition… features over two hundred rarely exhbited pieces… loaned from public institutions and private collections…
The Murano… glass works…
Fabulous mirrors… magnificent chandeliers… “lampe décorée à l’émail“… a cup with three dragons “Fratelli Toso“… among many other awesome glass works…
And… Art creations…
That endlessly… fascinate…
It is… both…
The… profane…
The… sacred…
It absorbs… and reflects light…
It cajoles… seduces…
It… is…
Ever so… charming…
Yet…
Fragile…
“J’adore“…
