Micromosaic plaque box attributed to Giacomo Raffaelli with the head of Jupiter, c. 1800.
Est: -
Micromosaic plaque box attributed to Giacomo Raffaelli depicting the head of Jupiter, c. 1800. Formed with small enamel tesserae ranging from white to greenish-gray on a black tesserae background. The micromosaic is perfect, but the box shows some damage. Diameter: 7.5 cm. Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836) is credited with inventing the classical technique of micromosaic in the last quarter of the 18th century. Originally from Rome, he established a workshop in Milan, frequented by aristocratic and royal patrons. A micromosaic of the Last Supper, a work by Raffaelli commissioned by Napoleon, is located in the Minorite Church in Vienna, and a clock decorated with micromosaic panels, also by Raffaelli and commissioned by Eugène Beauharnais in 1804, is part of the Gilbert Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

An important micromosaic panel "Veduta delle cascate a Tivoli"
Est: €50,000 - €60,000
This panel, which is framed by a fine black border with a golden meander in micromosaic, may have been inspired by a motif by Jakob Philipp Hackert. Giacomo Raffaelli (1753 - 1836) is considered the inventor of the micromosaic technique and was its most famous exponent. It is assumed that he came from a family that produced enamel paints for the mosaic workshops of the Vatican. Napoleon ordered him to Milan to run a mosaic workshop in 1804. During this time he created some famous mosaics, such as a copy of Leonardo's Last Supper of the same dimensions. Raffaelli moved back to Rome between 1817 and 1820, where he died in 1836 in a house built by Giuseppe Valadier at 92 via Babuino. Raffaelli produced micromosaics for the courts of Saxony, St. Petersburg, the Polish court under Stanislaw II August and for Eugène de Beauharnais. Hanisee Gabriel lists several views of Tivoli from his studio, the earliest dating from 1800.

Micromosaic plaque Giacomo Raffaelli, Rome, 1791
Est: €3,000 - €4,500
Circular copper plaque with micromosaic depicting two doves sipping within small geometrical contour in white, blue and red. Signed Giacomo Raffaelli fecit and dated 1791 at verso. Diameter 2 in. Giacomo Raffaelli (Rome, 1753-1836), descendant from a lineage of kilnsmen, is considered the inventor of the classic micromosaic technique: an illusion to make classic art masterpieces, monuments and mythological and religious subjects wearable as jewels or easy to carry in pocket; his plaques became expensive souvenirs for travelers on the Grand Tour. He exhibited his micromosaics for the first time in his Piazza di Spagna atelier, on the occasion of the Holy Year 1775 and his idea was so successful that between 1824 and 1830 the area between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo counted already 68 businesses related to micromosaic. Typical is the small contour he used to adorn his micromosaics: a chain of white tiles with blue tiles inside, between two rows of red tiles.

Giacomo Raffaelli (Italian, 1753-1836), The Doves of Pliny
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
glass mosaic on bronze, inscribed on the verso "Giacomo Raffaelli / Fece / Roma 1788." 5.75 in. diameter Many such roundels were crafted in Rome during the 18th century and 19th centuries as souvenirs of the "Grand Tour." Raffaelli specialized in the technique of using glass, rather than stone, as tesserae for these intricate micromosaics. Both the Victorian & Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York have smaller examples of this popular subject in their collections. The image, often referred to as either The Doves of Pliny or The Capitoline Doves, comes from a Roman floor mosaic discovered in 1737 at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. The Roman mosaic is believed to be a copy of a lost ancient Greek mosaic at Pergamon and described by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History.
