The
mosaic is an expression of art for designing patterns through insetting
the wall or floor with colorful pebbles, shells, tiles, or glass slices.
The Sumerian mosaic wall of the temple is the earliest mosaic architecture
that has been found.
In
the early periods, the Greek used the marble mosaic very often in black
and white to match well each other. Only the powerful ruler and the very
rich man can afford the craftsmen and buy the material to express this kind
of luxurious art. In the later period, the Greek artists have enriched their
mosaic work through smaller stones slices and incised the gravel stone into
slices manually.
The
Mosaic has already developed very popular in the Rome period. The civilian
houses and the public constructions usually used mosaic in decoration. If
you have seen the movie "Gladiator", you'll know obviously the Rome were
so rich at that period, and the architectures of the ancient Rome were incredibly
luxurious.
Constantine
the Great is the person who has legalized the Christianity and advocated
it strongly. The churches in Istanbul (Byzantine) were usually decorated
in a great deal of mosaic. More and more colors were used in decoration,
and even the gold foil was fired and inset into the transparent glass pieces.
The Sicilian Mosaics were the most representative of the gold background.
The Byzantine era almost equals to the Mosaics.
Glass
mosaic murals have applied in decorating the modern architectures very popularly.
There are plenty of mosaic murals have been used in outdoor places such as
metro stations, riverbanks, swimming pools, commercial spaces and the coffee
