Cicala in Volo Stained Glass Sculpture
 
The rhythmic beauty of the summer song, frozen in flight.
Elevate your collection with Cicala in Volo, a masterfully handcrafted stained glass sculpture that celebrates one of nature’s most iconic sounds. Resting on a minimalist matte-black wooden base, this piece captures the structural complexity and ancient allure of the cicada in a sophisticated, modern palette.
 
Artistry in Detail
This piece showcases the intricate anatomy of the cicada through a blend of bold geometry and ethereal tones:
The Violet Canopy: Hand-cut panes of deep plum and violet glass form the upper wings, transitioning into clear, textured "veins" that mimic the transparency of a real specimen.
Segmented Grace: The thorax and abdomen are rendered in moody, dark tones, highlighting the "armored" look of the insect with precision leadwork.
Stasis in Motion: Suspended on a slender wire, the cicada appears to be hovering mid-flight, creating a striking silhouette that feels both delicate and powerful.
 
Light & Atmosphere
Designed to interact with its surroundings, Cicala in Volo acts as a prism for natural light. When placed on a windowsill or near a lamp, the rich purples cast a moody, sophisticated glow, while the transparent lower wings allow light to pass through completely, creating intricate, lace-like shadows.
 
Specifications
Materials: Authentic stained glass, traditional solder leadwork, and a solid wood pedestal.
Display: Freestanding and double-sided, perfect for 360-degree viewing on a desk, mantle, or shelf.

A singular statement piece for the lover of curiosities, the naturalist, or anyone who appreciates the intersection of biological detail and fine glass art.
