In the Glass Case at the end of the Room are exhibited, by the Marquis d'Azeglio, an interesting Collection of VETRI ARTISTICI or paintings fixed upon glass or rock crystal. These Vetri are called sometimes in France Verres Eglomisis. The origin of this art may be traced to the Roman funereal glasses of the first Christian era, found fixed into the mortar of the catacombs at Rome. A tradition of the art seems to have been preserved at Constantinople ; and after the conquest of that city by the Crusaders in 1204, Byzantine artists were no doubt removed to Venice, and introduced there the various pro- cesses with which they were acquainted. The Collection, although but lately commenced, may give an approxi- mate idea of the various periods of this art from a remote date to the present time. It is rather astonishing that this branch of art should have fallen almost into oblivion. This appears to be the first attempt at forming such a Col- lection, and it will, no doubt, be found well deserving of the attention of connoisseurs.
