A history of the glass image and its transformation over the centuries
The article describes the development of the glass mosaic technique since when the first cubes of glass paste were used in the floor mosaic of the Roman masters in places where the color tone did not exist in natural material. The technique gradually improved and changed. Despite the decline in the period of iconoclasm and the diminution of style in the Renaissance and Baroque, when mosaic was merely a substitute for painting, it once again returned to the fore and is now a full-fledged artistic style.
