About the piece
Painted in 1893 by Fernand Cormon, this atmospheric work depicts 'Le Verrier' (The Glassmaker) in the heart of his craft. The composition is defined by dramatic chiaroscuro, where the deep shadows of the workshop are pierced by the vibrant, molten orange of the glass, celebrating the gritty elegance of industrial labor in a late 19th-century European style.
