A Roman Micromosaics Plaque Portrait Of Cavalier
Frame Size: Width: 21.60" x Hight: 27.25"
Picture Size: Width: 11.12" x 16.50"
Micromosaics (or micro mosaics, micro-mosaics) are a special form of mosaic that uses unusually small mosaic pieces (tesserae) of glass, or in later Italian pieces an enamel-like material, to make small figurative images.[1] Surviving ancient Roman mosaics include some very finely worked panels using very small tesserae, especially from Pompeii, but only from Byzantine art are there mosaic icons in micromosaic with tesserae as small as the best from the Modern period. Byzantine examples, which are very rare, were religious icons. They are usually framed and treated like portable paintings.

View All"The Cavalier" - The Vatican Mosaic Series 19th Century
Located in Jacksonville, FL
The Vatican Mosaic Studio originally founded in 1576 to create and install
mosaics in the basilica was producing portable mosaics to meet demands of the
Grand Tourist trade by the nineteenth century (p.96). Portrayals of romantic
historical figures such as the cavalier in the present lot were a popular subject
matter, evocative of well-known literary characters described in novels by
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) and rendered in genre paintings like those by
Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891) and Enrico Tarenghi (1848-1938). Such paintings
would have served as visual sources for micromosaics (Gabriel, 2000, p.124).
In 1727, however, the Studio del Mosaico...
