Grand Tour Christ Micro Mosaic Large Cross Christ

Grand Tour Christ Micromosaic Large Cross Christ Very good condition and, most importantly, with its original Christ figure from the late 19th century. Height 23 cm Width 13.5 cm The Grand Tour was a long journey through Europe, which could last up to six years, undertaken by young men from the upper middle class and the European aristocracy. It was an initiatory and educational journey undertaken during or just after their studies to broaden their interests and deepen their knowledge of Greek and Latin humanities. The main destinations were primarily cities in Italy, but also France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. Thanks to the Grand Tour, micromosaic jewelry and crosses like ours spread throughout Europe. These pieces served as souvenirs for these enlightened art lovers. The workshops therefore adopted Italian landscapes, ancient ruins, and the great monuments of Rome and the Vatican as their preferred subjects. There were more than 20 workshops in Rome in the 19th century; ours is the most renowned in Rome. If you are interested in the item for sale, we can arrange payment in two installments.
