About the Item
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 Vaticano (Vatican Mosaic Studio)
was formally established. The studio is tucked away in a comparatively
unassuming building in Vatican City. Here, a handful of highly talented
artists and craftsmen have worked tirelessly over the years to restore the
10,ooo square meters of mosaics in Saint Peter’s Basilica, while at the same
time creating original mosaic masterpieces.
These artists were also pioneers of the filate enamels technique, which
allowed them to create minuscule mosaic tiles that comprise the incredibly
detailed works in the Basilica, which to the untrained eye often look more
like paintings than mosaics.
