"A mosaic is a form of decorative art, in which small tiles or fragments of pottery (known as tesserae, diminutive tessellae) are used to create a pattern or picture. It was used in ancient times for domestic interior decoration. |
A full vision of the history of mosaics requires an understanding of all of the civilizations where the mosaic was present because this art form was not born in a particular place or time. Rather, it appeared sporadically in various cultures and locations not connected with each other, until finally this art form became more prominent and was subsequently developed and disseminated.
Therefore, the beginnings of mosaic art are difficult to determine, but historians are generally in agreement that the origins emerged in the orient.
