Literature
Micromosaics are a special form of mosaic that uses unusually small mosaic pieces - called tesserae, of glass, or in later Italian pieces an enamel-like material, to make small figurative images. 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. From the Renaissance, they began to be made in Italy, reaching the height of their popularity in the mid-19th century.
