Architecture and tiled floors
Architectural elements and floors mostly look like they have been drawn with a ruler. Floors can be tiled fully in gray, red, or red and white, and blue and white.
Eglomisé technique
Parts of the picture are painted with transparent colors or scratched with a dark background color. These parts are then backed with sheet metal.
Cottonwool clouds
Clouds are formed in round, often symmetrical shapes and come in a range of colors from gray to yellowy-white or pink.
Wreaths of flowers and leaves
Floral and foliage wreaths are not only found on inscriptions.
Cartouches and decorated frames
Cartouches in various shapes surround explanatory motifs, portraits, coats-of-arms and text.
Medallions
A popular painting format is a medallion on a light-blue background with an explanatory banderole.
Fonts and banderoles
Plain fonts, gothic and mixed scripts are used on banderoles and inscriptions with color-tinted ends.
Reverse glass paintings are delicate and require frequent restoration. Learn more here.
