Glass painting

Oil painting on glass belongs to miscellaneous categories. From a cold eye, it is just painting oil painting on glass, framed with wood seat placed on the case, or hung on the wall with wood edge. It is not an elegant instrument, and the time is mostly the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Glass oil painting looks ordinary, in fact, it also has a lot of knowledge in it. Whenever we are faced with a cultural relic, no matter big or small, the big one may be a grotto, the small one may be a plaything in our hands. First of all, we need to identify the age, material, work purpose and so on, and master a lot of knowledge of cultural relics. The knowledge of glass oil painting is that it is painted on glass color oil painting, this technique has been in the Ming Dynasty, its characteristics are thin glass, no impurities. Glass is pure natural, relatively uniform, wood frame or wood frame, carving is very simple. Unfortunately, because glass is fragile and not easy to preserve, it can be seen in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. The characteristic of glass oil painting in late Qing Dynasty is that the glass thickness is moderate. Remember one thing, the thinner the glass, the earlier the age, commonly known as "good year", and the good year is more produced in the south of Guangdong, the glass color is white without impurities, the painting is also relatively fine, the pattern has knife horse landscape figures. In terms of its value, the value of pictures is higher, and the value of many characters in a story is higher than that of a single character. The value of glass oil paintings during the Qianlong period is higher, because the oil paintings at this time are not only because of the early age and have a higher value, but also because of its fine painting, most of the oil paintings are with land, and add gold or silver color, the most famous painter is Huang Dasheng of Guangdong, his oil color is thick and colorful and has old meaning. In the period of the Republic of China, some of the oil paintings are fine, while most of the glass is thick and the painting is thick. Especially, the faces of the characters are not very fine. The thickness of the applied oil color is uneven, and often the oil color is not applied to the ground. Varieties are mostly large screen, insert, hang screen, and so on, and the wood seat of the insert is more firewood or hard wood, some in the wood seat perturbed pattern, and the original glass oil painting of the wood seat is very rare, so the insert with a wooden frame than hang screen value is much higher. Because the glass oil painting is not easy to preserve, so often ignore the collection, in today's exquisite and complete glass oil painting is very rare, the secondhand market can sometimes be seen, but the painter is relatively rough, good glass oil painting properly preserved, there is also room for appreciation.
