| Description | "'Decoration with small square stones'...the root of "mosaic" is the Medieval Latin "musaicum," meaning "work of the Muses,". Mosaics first appear in the eastern world, and can be traced to Chaldea, Syria and Byzantium. Mosaics are often associated with Roman and Greek homes and sacred art. This slideshow begins displaying columns from Chaldean architecture, dated from 2,000 BC, followed by Mosaic motif panels found in UR; thought to be the earliest known manifestation of mosaic. The images progress to the present day, demonstrating our fascination with this art form, the endless ideas, inspiration and uses for mosaic art throughout the ages". ~ the mosaic project 2009 |
