拍品专文

Working from his studio located at 57 via del Babuino, Biagio Barzotti was an active mosaicist for the Vatican workshops until the end of the 19th century. On occasion, the artist was commissioned to render works for Pope Leo XIII (d.1903), the most notable of which depicts the Pontiff blessing a congregation at St. Peter's Basilica.
The abbreviation R.F.S.P. stands for Reveranda Fabbrica di S. Pietro, the institution under whose jurisdiction the mosaic workshop operated.
