Angelo Barovier was an Italian glass artist who lived from around 1400 to 1460 in Venice. Raised in the Barovier family, which had a long tradition of glassworking, he is considered its best-known member, significant for uniting generations of passed-down knowledge as both artist and scientist. Contemporary accounts praise his skill in treating glass, and around 1455 the Venetian Republic granted him the right to keep producing clear glass during the annual furnace closure using a technique he developed and called crystal glass, or Venetian crystal; some credit him with originating a glass paste called chalcedony. In 1455 he was summoned to the court of Milan at the request of the architect Filarete to advise on the glass paste to be used for the planned ideal city of Sforzinda.
