The diversity of forms, expressions and behaviours attributed to animals reveals our curiosity and desire to understand wildlife, as well as our desire to control their representation and domestication.
Gathered by Pierre Rosenberg since the 1960s in a deliberately intuitive and subjective approach, these pieces bear witness to a fascination for animals in glass and the heritage of three generations of Venetian artists. They illustrate a creative freedom that oscillates between extreme stylisation and naturalistic meticulousness. Felines, birds, insects and fish appear stylised, frozen in the glass, but always imbued with a strong, singular personality.
With their myriad postures, these works reveal not so much the animal itself as the way we perceive it, grasp its characteristic features and shape its image. Transposed through the prism of our imagination, these animals leave their original form to inhabit our homes and become part of our everyday domestic life.
