Description
Mosaic table with ducks, Vatican city.
Policrome Mosaic table depicting two ducks (probably mallards) by a river or pond, created in the Vatican Studio for Mosaic between 1846 and 1878. It can be seen in the Vatican Museums.
This table, not three feet in diameter, is completely covered by a policrome mosaic made of minute marble tesserae (you can zoom in the image). The richness in detail and tone of this work is simply amazing, and for me, totally unexpected. A beautiful surprise.
