Image: Italian - Brooch with a Landscape Scene - Walters 4346
Description: Micromosaics crafted from miniature glass tesserae (mosaic tiles) decorated paperweights, boxes, and brooches, which were popular as tourist art and "souvenir jewelry." The Vatican workshops were largely responsible for their production and featured many examples as part of the Vatican's contribution to 19th-century expositions. The mosaics often represent genre scenes or scenic landscapes, like this brooch, which depicts the waterfalls at Tivoli, a well-known site near Rome.
