A Roman Micromosaic Plaque Mid-19th Century
About the Item
The panel: 5,6in x 3,6in. (14 cm. x 9 cm.)
Footnote: The first-century BC Tomb of Cecilia Metella is named after the fourth wife of the dictator, Lucius Cornelius Sulla (r. 82-79 BC). Located on the Appian Way, it is one of the most loved of Roman monuments, and serves as a resting place for travellers, artist and scholars. At one time, it is believed to have contained treasures and works of art, along with the white marble sarchofagus of its namesake. A Gilbert Florentine hardstone picture depicts this tomb in a much more elaborate composition.
see 'The Gilbert Collect, Micromosaics, Jeanettte Hanisee Gabriel, Phiip Wilson Publishers, fig. 110., page 179.
