Émile Gallé (1846 – 1904)
Explorez l'univers Art Nouveau d'Émile Gallé (1846-1904), artiste français renommé pour ses techniques innovantes en verre comme le camée et les motifs floraux. Fondateur de l'École de Nancy.
Doubtless the last work of crafted glass produced by the master from Nancy, this straight, upright hand represents the culmination of his technical mastery. Shaped under heat, the hand is decorated with polychromatic applications, some in high relief. It was exhibited Nancy in 1904 in a showcase entitled The Deep Sea.The marine world provided Gallé with inspiration for many of his decorative motifs which, like the verses of Baudelaire, celebrated the symbolic role of the sea.
