Attributed to Giacomo Raffaelli (Italian, 1753-1836): A fine circular micromosaic plaque depicting an allegory of the temple of loveRoman, late 18th/early 19th centuryinlaid with polychrome tesserae to depict a flaming athenienne, between a bow and quiver of arrows, the central incense burner aflame with the fires of love and desire, between a ribbon tied bow and a quiver as the attributes of Cupid, against a blue ground within a red and white tesserae border, the plaque probably originally set into the lid of a snuff box or bonbonniere, 6.7cm diameterFootnotes:Giacomo Rafaelli was trained as a painter and sculptor from an early age, 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 a vast number and variety of 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).A similarly themed circular plaque is in the permanent collection of The Victoria & Albert Museum (acc. no.

Attributed to Giacomo Raffaelli (Italian, 1753-1836): A rare micromosaic rectangular plaque depicting a GoldfinchRoman, late 18th / early 19th centurythe songbird with brown and yellow plumage, depicted about to launch into fight from a low-lying tree stump branch in finely inlaid tesserae reserved on a pale blue ground within a narrow millefiori line border, mounted within a gold frame, probably originally forming the lid of a snuff box, 5.2cm high x 8.5cm longFootnotes:The present lot is of a quality associated with the work of Raffaelli, an artist and craftsman who is often credited with developing the micromosaic technique utilising the tiny square or rectangular tesserae characteristic of this early stage of the art form.The depiction of a solitary song bird on a branch is perhaps one of the earliest motifs used in micro mosaics, most probably inspired by 17th century pietre dure plaques produced at the Opificio in Florence. The naturalism of the bird is achieved through the use of the tiny tesserae, sometimes no larger than a pin head and the theme of a solitary bird on a branch was one of the first motifs which Raffaelli used in his micromosaics.For further footnote on Giacomo Rafaelli, please see lot 23.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
