18th century micromosaic plaque of a dog looking right. The sparse but interesting vegetation in the foreground, the light blue background set with horizontal oblong or square tesserae, each tessera comprising one color, and a low ground line are all hallmarks of 18th century micromosaics. Also, the gaps between the tesserae are not filled in and there is limited color range and little modelling. For more information on 18th century micromosaics, see: The Gilbert Collection Micromosaics. Jeanette Hanisee Gabriel. Philip Wilson Publishers. Set on copper, the diameter is 2.75 inches. One could make a strong argument that this micromosaic was probably Giacomo Raffaelli; however to be conservative we would say it is possible. The image of a seated dog (a large mastiff) on grass, gazing into the distance was a popular motif during this time period; and, as many art historians have thought this motif possibly may have originated with Giacomo Raffaelli, who had seen this dog in a wall painting in an ancient ruin in Italy. Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836) is one the most important artists of micromosaics, his signed pieces are almost nowhere to be found - unless in museums and important collections of the world. We know of nine that exist in the world. Two in the Hermitage, two in the renowned Gilbert Collection, one in the British Museum, three held by different companies in the trade, and one held by Pierre/Famille ( for sale on this platform). Raffaelli was considered the finest mosaicist in Rome. Indeed, when Napoleon I wanted to sponsor a mosaic version of The Last Supper, in roughly 1810, he chose Raffaelli, this too added much to his fame. This micromosaic plaque is in fine condition. We have one of the largest collections of micromosaics offered for sale. If our reader is searching for a particular motif, we would be happy to list it here for your consideration.
