A 'VERRE EGLOMISE' PANEL
DESIGNED BY JEAN DUPAS, THE GLASS EXECUTED BY JACQUES CHARLES CHAMPIGNEULLE FOR THE GRAND SALON OF THE OCEANLINER NORMANDIE, CIRCA 1934
Of rectangular form, painted in gold and silver leaf and grisaille, depicting a partial view of the bow and mast of a vessel--49in. (124.5cm.) high, 32in. (81.3cm.) wide, 1/4in. (1cm.) deep
The Normandie provided France's foremost architects, decorators and sculptors with a unique opportunity to create what Francis Jourdain described as a "floating museum of decorative arts".
Jean Dupas was commissioned to decorate the four corners of the Grand Salon. He chose as his theme the history of navigation which he traced in a series of 30ft. high glass murals.
The present panel was part of the 'Rape of Europa' mural.
