Chinese Emperor & Empress reverse paintings on glass are fascinating pieces of art with a rich history. The paintings are created by painting on the reverse side of a glass panel, which is then viewed from the front. This technique requires meticulous skill, as the artist must paint the details first and then layer the background.
The scenes showcase their regal attire and dignified expressions and were often used for decorative purposes in homes and temples. They were also exported to Europe, where they were highly prized for their exotic appeal.
