Expertly crafted from thousands of tiny and intricately arranged
pieces, micromosaics appear at first glance to be miniature
paintings. Closer inspection reveals the extraordinary skill of the
virtuoso makers, who were able to create exquisite images brimming
with drama and atmosphere. Focusing on 30 highlights from the
V&A's superlative Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection,
which includes some of the finest examples of micromosaics made,
this new book explores the technical aspects of micromosaic
construction, its roots in antiquity, their incredible popularity
in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, and their evolution
through the nineteenth century until the technique virtually
vanished in the early 1900s
