Item Details

Description

A RARE SWEDISH GOLD-MOUNTED PORPHYRY SNUFF BOX WITH INSET MICROMOSAIC PANEL DEPICTING PLINYS DOVES ATTRIBUTED TO GIACOMO RAFFAELLI (ITALIAN, 1753-1835), CIRCA 1810

the inset micromosaic panel Roman, marks rubbed, of rounded rectangular form, the top with an inset micro panel. 8.6cm by 5.3cm

Giacomo Rafaelli was trained as a painter and sculptor early, becoming a master in Florentine hardstone mosaics and Roman micromosaics. His family had supplied the Vatican Mosaic Workshop with smalti, the material used for micromosaics. In 1775, he gave the first exhibition, which led to a brilliant career in which he produced many works, ranging from mosaic floors, tables, and monumental clocks to miniature mosaics small enough to fit on a snuffbox or brooch. One of his earliest known examples is a small round plaque, signed and dated 1779, depicting 'The Doves of Pliny' (now at the British Museum).

The doves appear frequently as the subject of micro mosaics. The image comes from a Roman floor mosaic discovered in 1737 at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, which is believed to be a copy of a lost ancient Greek mosaic at Pergamon.
