The subject and composition of this verre églomisé (reverse painted and gilded glass) ultimately derive from an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi (Bolognese, ca. 1470/82-1527/34). In it, the interest in antiquity that played a fundamental role in the Renaissance is evident: the subject is a classical triumph, several figures are copied from antique sources, and the treatment of the figures and the composition recalls ancient relief sculpture. A piece like this would have been a splendid decoration in an elite Renaissance home.
