OverviewAmong the exquisite pieces of glass in Robert Lehman's collection are many that exhibit the consummate skill of Venetian glassmakers and explain why Venetian glass was so coveted in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. The factories in northern Europe that produced glass a la facon de Venise are represented as well. Robert Lehman also acquired perhaps the richest American collection of 18th-century lampworked glass figurines, which are usually attributed to Nevers, France. Smaller groups of reverse-painted panels and ancient Roman and early Islamic glass round out the 136 objects catalogued in this volume. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Dwight P. Lanmon , David B.
