Reverse Painting on Glass (eglomise) is a very old art form dating back to 14th Century Rome. Towards the end of the Renaissance, the Italians adopted the technique for use with water based paints and subsequently the art form grew in popularity across the rest of Europe. When the Spaniards settled in Peru during the 1500’s, they brought many of their household items from Spain, among which were Reverse Painting on Glass Mirrors. Initially, the settlers imported their home furnishings and goods from Spain, but in time, a core of Peruvian artisans and craftsman began to locally create and fabricate these products. Reverse Painting on Glass techniques became ingrained in the art and craft movement of Peru.
