MANUFACTURES OF Mosaic PORTRAITS.
The Papal Government has manufac-
tory in the basement OF the Vatican in
which large number of persons are en-
ployed in producing pictures for the
adornmeDt of churches and for presents
to the crowned heads ef Europe. They
ere now engaged in making colossal poF-
traits of the Popes, to be placed in ST.
Paul's Church, now erecting. 1t is in-
tended to place there complete series of
these portraits, from the first Pope TO Plus
TX, and to continue them as long as the
succession continues, places being left for
many centuries to come. These mosaics
are made of a species of glass enamel
manufactured for the purpose, and the
different tints used in these works amount
to more than ten thousand. 1t is re-
quisite for the persons employed to have
great knowledge Of art and a discriminat-
ing appreciation of the different schools
Of painting. Some idea can be formed Of
the difficulties to be encountered in these
productions when it is known that from
twelve 10 twenty years are frequently oc-
cupied in their execution. Their artistic
beauty is unrivalIed.
