Angelo Barovier (1450–1460)

Born 1450 CE, died 1460 CE.

Angelo Barovier (c. 1400, in Venice – 1460, in Venice) was an Italian glass artist. Raised in the Barovier family, which had a long tradition of glass working, Barovier is considered the best-known member and significant for uniting the knowledge passed down for generations as an artist and a scientist. Biographical details about Barovier are few and fragmentary, but relate his ability in the treatment of glass. The humanist Ludovico Carbone, for example, described Angelum Venetum as optimum artificem crystallinorum vasorum (largest producer of crystalline vessels). Another testimony to the high esteem for Barovier is the decree of Venetian Republic in around 1455 that granted him the rights to keep producing clean glass during annual furance closure, produced by a technique he developed, which he called crystal glass or Venetian crystal.
