A spectacular sculpture by the renowned Murano glass artist Dino Rosin, depicting a turtle shell. With magenta, peach, and violet hues streaked through with deep blue, the colors of this glimmering art glass are reminiscent of a breathtaking sunset. For the full effect, be sure to place this carefully crafted turtle shell beside a window. The play of natural light on the glass is simply dazzling.
This piece is currently mounted on a black metal stand for display, but could be removed according to display preferences.
Italian artist Dino Rosin was born in Venice in 1948 and raised on the island of Murano, famous for its glass blowing tradition. Rosin left formal schooling to pursue glass blowing at the age of 12. His older brother Loredano Rosin was also a prolific glass artist in Murano, and Dino Rosin joined his workshop in 1975. The Rosin brothers are credited with rediscovering the secrets of Calcedonia glass, a Murano tradition that had been lost for nearly 500 years. Dino Rosin's art reflects the traditions of his family and the islands of Murano, and his lifelong passion is evident in this exquisite work of art.
