This illuminating original graphic comes from a suite of lithographs published in Italy in 1973, titled Venice Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.

Stained glass windows in Venice have been known since the end of the 13th century, after glass blowers moved their furnaces to Murano. Florence, Rome, Assisi, Padua, Treviso, the Istrian peninsula and Dalmatia all bought glass from Venice for their churches.

Connected to huge gothic cathedrals, stained glass windows were a vehicle for the mendicant orders, such as Franciscan and Dominican preachers, to express their mysticism. Glittering in the light, the figurative glass art would illuminate the dark and bare architecture of gothic churches. On one side the poverty driven constructions in stone and bricks, on the other side the presence of God visible through this Bible in glass.

Inspired by structure, rhythm and vibrations, Enzo Brunori participated in the Venice Biennale in 1956 and 1958, but protested it in 1960. For international art aficionados and novices alike, this lithograph will make a radiant addition to your collection.
