Gemmaux (plural of gemmail) is a 20th century form of stained glass developed in 1936 by the French artist Jean Crotti. Pieces of colored glass shaped by the artist are superimposed and held together by a transparent enamel on a large glass panel lighted from behind. The result is a rich relief with the lighting transcending the color.

Picasso was one of the major artists who produced about 50 gemmaux in the 1950s.[1] He was so enthusiastic and captivated by this new medium that he declared : 'a new art is born: les Gemmaux'.[2].[3]
