HISTORY OF MosAIcs.
The Art Began to Develop in Fourth
Century.


The art OF Christian mosaics began
to develop In the Fourth century, &C.
cordng 10 writer In the Ecclesiasti-
cal Review, and it held its prominence
for 200 years, being characterized by
singular beauty ana magnihcenee.
Then Christian artists worked out for
themselves scheme of decoration
that was practically untouched by the
ancient Romans, who die not seem TO
have realized the possibilities Of mo-
saics as color field.
Ry applying to the walls of the pfin-
cipal churches these almost impliish-
able mosaic cubes of marble and col
ored glass, with their consequent glcw
of colcr, we find mosaic Painting in
luenclng the whole trend of interior
decoration for nearly 1000 wears. Grad
ual deterioration of the art is disccrEi-
ble IN the Eighth and Ninth centuries
and almost complete proStration took
place in the Tenth century.
II sprang into life i'm the Eleventh
creditabe work was prcduced in the
following century and q rotable Inn
pulse was given To II i'm the Thirtcentn
century, when ii began again to be
largely employed as a decorative me
dunn. Since the days Cf the renais-
sance. however and until recently mo-
saic work has been almost entirelg
relegated To the mechanical industrial
arts, it's object being the reproduction
Of the great masters in oil.
In the Nineteenth century mosaic
work was again called into life, and at
the present time it's value as a decora
tive medium is being more and more
realized.
