For decades, aristocrats of the Old World and then American collectors (the latter at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries) spent countless sums on the purchase of these works, which were worth a fortune. These wealthy collectors of curiosities of all types were also most certainly great dreamers seeking a worthy setting for their dreams. Unbeknownst to them, their endeavours had much greater scope, creating and nourishing the conditions for a rare encounter between two worlds: a golden age of atypical collaboration, a combined adventure between China and Europe. 517 $aChinese reverse glass painting 1720-1820 606 $aGlass underpainting 606 $aGlass underpainting$zChina$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aGlass underpainting. 615 0$aGlass underpainting$xHistory 676 $a748.5 700 $aAudric$b Thierry$01348794 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910720510803321 996 $aChinese reverse glass painting, 1720-1820$93086433 997 $aUNINA
