Romano Dona, “Elephant”

The Murano glass elephant sculptures by Romano Dona, are examples of mid-20th-century Italian glass art. These sculptures are celebrated for their vibrant colors, dynamic forms, and the innovative use of Murano glass techniques. Sommerso technique is a method which involves layering colored glass within a clear glass body, creating depth and a sense of movement within the sculpture. The elephant sculptures often feature vibrant colors such as red, amber, green, and blue, reflecting the rich Venetian glassmaking tradition. The sculptures are characterized by their abstract representation of elephants, focusing on fluid lines and dynamic shapes. This model is signed.
