Glass Murrina by L.Moretti of Garibaldi 1890 Murano

The series of portraits by Jacopo Franchini is noteworthy, but the works of Luigi Moretti (1867-1946) also deserve special attention. While Franchini depicts Garibaldi as a mature man in uniform, Moretti presents an elderly Garibaldi with a white beard, honouring the general who passed away when Moretti was just 15 years old. In his portrait, Garibaldi is shown wearing the iconic red shirt, a symbol of the Expedition of the Thousand (1860-1861).

This is referenced in the book “Miniature di vetro – Murrine 1838-1974,” authored by Professor G. Sarpellon and published in Venice in 1990 by Arsenale, on page 134, picture 965.

the murrina is in perfect condition,and the largest we ever saw.
