Résumé
The present paper addresses the history and issues surrounding a selection of gilded and enameled Venetian glasses, considered to be among the most precious objects in Renaissance decorative arts. To successfully distinguish authentic Venetian gilded and enameled glasses from other productions conflated with them—whether façon de Venise, copies, or fakes, irrespective of period or place produced—art historical benchmarks and confirmed data are needed as points of reference. The alliance between science and art history recommended itself as a promising interpretive path. This article evokes art historical lines of research, while the following article by Isabelle Biron and Marco Verità in the same volume of the Journal of Glass Studies, takes an analytical approach to establish criteria for identifying genuine Venetian gilded and enameled glass.
