This hand-painted glass ornament captures the intense beauty and masterful technique of the original Charles Demuth oil painting, Calla Lilies (Bert Savoy). The art of decorating glass ornaments and bottles from the inside has been a Chinese tradition for centuries. This delicate process is unique and requires unprecedented levels of craftsmanship, talent, and experience. Today, we've made exquisite works of Hengshui Neihua painting available to you through our selection of detailed and beautiful decorative ornaments. Each piece begins as a flawlessly clear, hand-blown glass bulb with an opening of less than 0.5”. The artist then recreates one of the world's finest works of art, from the inside, with care and precision. The finished works measure 3.5" in diameter and feature a bronze patina fastener with an elegant verdigris satin hanger. A stylish and sophisticated addition to your holiday decor or Christmas tree. They can even be gracefully displayed on a stand for year-round enjoyment and admiration as a collectible item. *100% hand painted by an actual artist. No two will be identical so please expect to see slight variations. Calla Lilies was painted in 1926 by Charles Demuth in honor of Bert Savoy after Savoy's death by being struck by lightning on the beach. The shell and the waves in the image are representative of the beach and the Calla Lilies represent the death, as they are popular for funerals. Calla Lilies shows distinct characteristics from Demuth's style, Precisionism. Precisionism combined the movements of Cubism and Futurism to create a style that uses bold colors and very exact and precise lines. Demuth did several paintings dedicated to his friends, but he left Savoys name off of this one to hide his identity.
