Glass Painting History:
Glass painting is a highly regarded art form with so many varieties. Across history, there are
major differences in the style, purpose and technique used for this kind of painting. Glass painting may
also be referred to as stained glass or glass art. It is an exquisite form of art that uses light to magnify its beauty.
In its basic form, glass painting refers to painting on a piece of glass that serves as a canvass.
One type of glass painting that has existed since the ancient Rome and China times is the reverse glass
painting, which is similar to its normal counterpart, but only requires viewing it with the glass turned over.
Historians cannot give a definite time when glass painting began. Traces of creating colored glass
figures have been found in ancient cultures, such as Rome, Byzantium, China and throughout the Middle Ages.
