How Mosaic Art Has Developed
by Leon S. Hooper
Mosaic art has been around for a very long time but its origin and history is not as clear as it could be. It made its initial appearances in random cultures and countries but in terms of its exact origin, it remains unknown. There are widely perceived to having been originated from somewhere within the Orient, however. One of the first pieces of Mosaics art is thought to have come from a civilisation known as the Chaldeans in Mesopotamia. This civilisation goes back as far as 4000BC.
The 8th century BC developed mosaic art with stones of a number of different colours creating patterns to be seen on pebble pavements. Although there was little emphasis on structure at this point.
The Greeks developed mosiac art further, in the 4th century BC. Through geometric patterns, they created scenes with people and animals. They were aided by the Romans in improving the standards of mosaic art which was more impressive due to a seemingly decrease of artistic skill. We would see floors decorated with mosaic images of religious celebrations as well as more domestic themes.
The next significant development was by the Byzantine Empire and their civilisation in the 5th century AD. We began to see more aspects of its personality as it began to draw upon more influences from the East and glass tesserae. As opposed to floors, it was now more frequently to be seen on ceilings and walls with more religious themes along with portraits of emperors.
Mosaic art, in its current form, is widely appreciated by art lovers of all countries. It is truly a multi-cultural art with contributions from various countries throughout the ages and brings secrets from our ancestors together with art of the modern world thanks to technically gifted artists. It inspires many and brings a warm feeling to any scene where it is on display.
