#MosaicMonday
In a change from the scheduled momument of Roman mosaics, we now present instead Hans Tisdall – ‘The Alchemist’s Elements’ at Manchester University (1967) [restored and relocated in 2022].

Own photo.A large four square mosaic wall panel in orange, brown, buff stone and green. Subtle patterns hint at possible forms like folds, lines and circles, but abstract and almost indiscernible.

A fantastic Roman mosaic from the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes. #MosaicMonday #Nîmes #Roman

A very detailed square Roman mosaic. The centre is a circle made up of multiple triangular black and white sections surrounded by a circle with a wave pattern. You can only just see different bids in each corner. This is all surround by various brown, white and black borders.

For #MosaicMonday, a c. 60-50 BCE #mosaic floor from the basis villæ, the Late Republican core of Hadrian's Villa. If his wife Vibia #Sabina inherited this estate, her Antonine relatives held a 200-year connection to these local stones, unified by descent rather than adoption. #AncientBluesky 🏺

GEOMETRIC MOSAIC FLOOR, C. 60-50 BCE. BASIS VILLÆ, HADRIAN'S VILLA A Late Republican mosaic floor in the basis villæ, the original nucleus of Hadrian's Villa, an area long closed to the public. The floor features a tricolour geometric pattern creating a woven trompe l'oeil effect. Rectangular blocks of reddish-brown stone tesseræ are arranged symmetrically around small squares of white stone, sharply delineated by rows of dark grey tesseræ. Dating to c. 60-50 BCE, this elegant mosaic floor in tesseræ of local materials contrasts with Hadrian's C2 expansion that embellished the estate with polychrome marble from across the empire. A widely-held theory suggests Hadrian chose this site because his wife, Vibia Sabina, inherited this older villa. Her mother Matidia, niece of Trajan, was the ancestress of the Antonine dynasty, and if the inheritance of this villa passed through her, then all the emperors from Hadrian to Commodus could claim this as a family property stretching back over two centuries.

And of course I should have added: #MosaicMonday !

As some of us have been discussing the possible Dewlish triton recently, who might have supported a circle, for this #MosaicMonday here's a snaky-legged person to compare and contrast. From the Horkstow mosaic, holding up the circular scenes in the central panel. 1/2

A detail from a coloured engraving of a Roman mosaic. A short-haired figure is kneeling in a spandrel, with part of a circular border of simple guiloche above and multi-strand guilloche borders at lower left and lower right forming parts of the enclosing square. The figure's arms are raised to hold the circle. The figure's lower legs take the form of snakes terminating in splendid crested heads with long red tongues. The heads are placed just below the figure's hands.

✨ #MosaicMonday in Cologne Cathedral: Spain is personified as a crowned woman holding a model of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral — part of a wider allegorical programme of Christian nations.
#SacredArt #SantiagoDeCompostela #WSocialPics #Cologne #CologneCathedral #ChurchArt #MosaicArt #Germany

Close-up of a floor mosaic in Cologne Cathedral showing an allegorical representation of Spain. A crowned female figure sits on a throne in flowing pale and reddish robes and holds a detailed architectural model of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on her lap. She belongs to a larger symbolic programme in which major Christian nations are represented as enthroned female figures, each holding the principal church associated with that country. Spain is represented by Santiago de Compostela, while other figures in the wider composition represent Italy with St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, the Byzantine Empire with Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, and France with Reims Cathedral. The scene is formed from thousands of small mosaic pieces in cream, ochre, brown, muted red and blue-grey tones and is surrounded by elaborate floral and geometric ornament.Close-up of a floor mosaic in Cologne Cathedral showing an allegorical representation of Spain.

A #mosaicmonday from the House of the Birds at the ancient roman site of Itálica - birthplace of the Emperor Hadrian. Particularly loving the proud peacock second from bottom, strutting confidently into the week 🦚.

This delightful mosaic once decorated the courtyard of the so-called House of the Drinking Contest, near the port of Antioch-on-the-Orontes. The mosaic is thought to date to C3rd CE and depicts erotes frolicking among Mediterranean marine life.

#MosaicMonday #Dolphins

This mosaic depicts three erotes riding dolphins. The erotes cast their fishing lines into a sea filled with marine creatures, including a long, thin garfish; brightly colored wrasses; gray and red mullets; a shrimp; and a clam.

👀 Basilica di San Giovanni Evangelista, Ravenna, Italy

Remains of 13th Century mosaic said to show a scene from the Fourth Crusade.

#MosaicMonday

A mosaic showing a scene from the Fourth Crusade. A tall tower of perhaps 5 floors with windows on each level. Conical roof. Two large figures (not to scale) face a soldier. His image is damaged, but he wears chain mail & carries a shield. His arm is raised, maybe he has a weapon to attack the two figures?

Tiger mosaic from the 'House of Dionysus' (3rd cent. CE) at Nea Paphos, Cyprus - a site with fantastic mosaics (and a lot more to see).
