EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matthew Thomas Rooke's "Study of Mosaics, The Madonna and Rinceaux, Eastern Dome" in San Marco, Venice. Created in 1879 using watercolor and gold on paper, this artwork is now part of the Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust collection in the UK. The irregularly shaped composition features a female figure known as the Madonna standing on a platform with her arms raised. She is adorned in a brown dress and blue mantle, exuding an air of grace and serenity. Below her stands a patterned archway called rinceaux, which is intricately decorated with vibrant floral designs and foliate motifs in shades of red, blue, and green. Rooke's attention to detail shines through as he masterfully captures the delicate beauty of each element within this piece. The use of gold as a background adds an ethereal glow that enhances the overall radiance of the artwork. Beyond the main subject matter lies light figurative pencil outlines that provide additional context to Rooke's creative process. This study not only celebrates Venetian mosaic art but also highlights Rooke's skillful interpretation through his unique artistic vision. Thanks to Hazel Drummond's photography skills, viewers can appreciate this exquisite artwork from afar while marveling at its intricate details up close.
