St. Peter's Square St. Peter's Square

Micro-mosaics made in Rome, Italy utilize small fragments of colored stones, clay or glass, called tesserae. Each square inch can comprise over 400 tesserae. The subject matter is often based on 18th century engravings of Roman antiquities and views of Rome.

In this mosaic we can see there are plenty of theologians and other religious figures in the square of St. Peter's Cathedral.
