About the piece
This 1886 masterpiece by Charles Frederic Ulrich captures the intense, atmospheric interior of a Murano glass foundry. Using a masterful chiaroscuro technique, Ulrich illuminates the focused laborers and the heat of the furnace against a cavernous, shadowy workshop, creating a piece that is as much a study of light as it is of industry.
