Monumental 19th Century Italian Micro Mosaic Mosaic Mural Entombment of Jesus

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century Italian micro mosaic mural panel is a true masterpiece of artistry and devotion. Painstakingly crafted by skilled artisans of the time, it depicts the poignant and spiritually significant scene of the "Entombment of Jesus Christ." The mosaic technique utilized here is a testament to the unparalleled skill of Italian artisans during the 19th century. Countless tiny glass tesserae, each meticulously hand-placed, create a breathtaking image with incredible precision and detail. The vibrant and harmonious color palette, along with the shimmering iridescence of the glass, brings this scene to life. The central focus of the panel is the lifeless body of Jesus, tenderly cradled and laid to rest by his mourning followers. The surrounding figures convey a profound sense of grief, compassion, and reverence. Every aspect of the composition, from the facial expressions to the intricate drapery of clothing, is a testament to the artist's extraordinary talent and their deep connection to the subject matter. This monumental panel not only serves as a stunning work of art but also as a powerful symbol of faith and reflection. Its grandeur and artistry make it a rare and significant representation of 19th-century Italian micro mosaic craftsmanship, inviting viewers to contemplate the eternal themes of life, death, and resurrection. 40 1/2 x 59 1/2 inches. Bound with an iron strap and tabs for mounting.
