Bacchus (Caravaggio, 1590)
Art has always reflected the values of its time and, for centuries, Murano glass has been one of them.
From elegant banquets to aristocratic portraits and refined interiors, artists repeatedly depicted vases, mirrors, chandeliers and drinking vessels as symbols of prestige, beauty and craftsmanship. Their presence on canvas tells the story of an art form that was never merely decorative, but deeply woven into the cultural and social life of Europe’s elite.
