The Art of Mosaics, in one form or another, has been practiced for thousands of years, but mosaic art as it is known today was invented by the Greeks, who then passed their skills on to the Romans.
Then in due course, the art was embraced
by the Byzantines, who were renowned for their superb wall and vault mosaics. Byzantium fell in the 15th century AD, and mosaic art went into a decline until the great revival in the 19th century, which continues to the present day. |
Mosaic Art has a long history in Cyprus. During the 12th century, when Byzantine art was reaching ever high levels, mosaic life in Cyprus was on the rise too and many new monasteries and churches were built and decorated with works of Mosaic. |
