Sacred icon in cut glass attributed to Fontana Arte, Italy, 1940s Post-deco sacred art work in engraved and hand-painted glass, with gold interior A luminous relic of Italian craftsmanship This extraordinary sacred icon in cut and painted glass, attributed to the famous Fontana Arte manufacturer, is a refined example of Italian spiritual art from the 1940s. It depicts the Madonna and Child with an intense yet delicate expressive power, in a scene that blends Byzantine inspiration with the decorative language of post-Deco modernism. Cut glass and gold background: light and spirituality The work is made of hand-cut glass, with wavy edges that refract the light, creating a lively and almost mystical aura. Inside the glass, the background is entirely gold, giving the icon a chromatic depth that amplifies its visual and emotional impact. The sacred subject is engraved and hand-painted with brightly colored enamel pigments, which highlight the halos, cloaks, and ornamental details. The fact that it was created by Fontana Arte, the historic Milanese artistic glassworks founded by Gio Ponti and Pietro Chiesa, gives this icon a unique value. The attention to detail, the refinement of the workmanship, and the skillful use of glass make it a true collector's item, sought after both for its aesthetic beauty and its spiritual significance. The glass is anchored to a brass cross with a good patina.
