This artwork is based on the original ‘Claude glass,’ a small black slightly convex mirror, often made from obsidian, used by landscape painters to shrink the scene they were painting to a manageable size. They’d sit with their back to the landscape, facing the Claude Glass, and paint the reduced image.
