拍品專文

Salviati, who was dedicated to restoring to prominence the art of mosaic, founded his "laboratory of mosaic art" in Venice in 1859. Salviati exhibited at major expositions in Paris, Naples, London, Milan, and Boston, where he won numerous gold medals and diplomas of honor. The Salviati company developed a reputation for producing exquisite mosaic portraits of both ancient and modern subjects and for undertaking vast mural decorations for palaces and churches.
