Image SIZE 35 x 50 cm, SIZE incl. mounting 43 x 57.8 cm A knowledge transfer from Dutch and Chinese traditions of reverse glass painting initially took place through the city of Nagasaki, where a number of local artists received aspects from both traditions and created a new genre of Japanese art. In time, this art form spread to other parts of Japan, where it took on themes typically seen in Japanese visual media, such as beautiful women, kabuki actors, and landscapes. The inter-medial connections to the woodblock prints became a key part of the Japanese tradition of reverse glass painting and, with the advent of new media in the latter part of the nineteenth century, photography became incorporated into the art form. Literature comparison: Compare a closely related reverse glass painting with a view of Mount Fuji with mother-of-pearl inlays, in the collection of the Dresden State Art Collections, inventory number 52961.
