Architecture Mosaic is still the most popular aesthetic method in creating the most profound and important religious pieces. The three images below are of: ‘Saint Valentine’, a 350x210cm work made of Venetian smalti. The sketch is by Stefano Jus and made in collaboration with the Mosaic School of Spilimbergo in Italy for the church of: ‘Santa Maria di Campagna’ in Cessalto (Italy). Mosaic was able to give the sketch a depth no paint could. The texture of the materials and the way they reflect in the light bring the piece to life. Practically speaking, Mosaic endures all types of weather.
