Artifact Overview

Lucio Bubacco grew up in the centuries-old glass culture of the island of Murano, Italy. Bubacco uses a technique known as lampworking, where a gas-powered torch is used to melt the glass which is then blown and shaped. He creates detailed sculptures often inspired by Greek mythology. In Bucolic Composition, a dark glass goblet is surrounded by nudes reveling in music and wine.
