Genuine Micromosaic (Rome, around 1850) depicting a Winged Angel 18 kt Gold Ring
About the Item
In this 18 kt gold ring, with 22 rubies, handmade by a skilled Italian goldsmith, a micromosaic was set, created around the mid-1800s by one of the talented micromosaicists who worked in Rome in that century.
The micromosaicists who worked at the end of the 1700s and throughout the 1800s on works like this one, came from the Vatican mosaic studio.
The "Vatican Mosaic Studio", started up in 1727. Here the best mosaic artists that Rome boasted poured into. The term 'micromosaic' is used to describe mosaics made of the smallest glass pieces. Some micromosaics contain more than 5000 pieces per square inch.
For most Grand Tour travelers, Rome was the last stop of the trip. Its squares and monuments have been immortalized by numerous artist in paintings and sculptures as well as small masterpieces such as micro mosaics in which, besides objects of classic inspiration, reproductions are created of sights, common life, animals, flowers. These works astounded and fascinated travelers due to the precision of design, color tones and harmony of the composition. Support for micro mosaics were initially in copper, the stone or glass were used. The latter types were better adapted to mounting in gold or silver in order to transform simple plaquettes into necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings rings and pendants. During the first half of the 19th century it was customary for the ladies in the Grand Tour to have a parure in gold or gilt silver made of plaquettes in micro mosaic, each of which illustrated a different location.
