Verre Èglomisè - Peinture en Grisailles

A grisaille may be executed for its own sake, as underpainting for an oil painting (in prepa­ration for glazing layers of color over it), or as a model for an engraver to work from. „Ru­bens and his school sometimes use monochrome techniques in sketching compositions for engravers. Full coloring of a subject makes many more demands of an artist, and working in grisaille was often chosen as being quicker and cheaper, although the effect was some­times deliberately chosen for aesthetic reasons. Grisaille paintings resemble the drawings, normally in monochrome, that artists from the Renaissance on were trained to produce; like drawings they can also betray the hand of a less talented assistant more easily than a fully colored painting.

 

The term is also applied to monochrome painting in other media such as enamels, where an effect similar to a relief in silver may be intended. It is common in stained glass, where the need for sections in different colors was thereby greatly reduced. Portions of a window may be done in grisaille — using, for example, silver stain or vitreous paint — while other sec­tions are done in colored glass.

 

Angular Momentum of Switzerland has created a new collection of Verre Èglomisè Artisan Timepieces with Miniature Paintings en Grisaille on the reverse of watch sapphire crystals.

 

The images for this collections are made after oil paintings of the great master painters of the Barock and Rococo mainly with allegoric themes.

All paintings are executed on the reverse of a 14.800 ct. sapphire crystal.

 

All watches completely hand made in the Angular Momentum ateliers as unique pieces. Case diameter 39.00 mm
