Summary
| Description | Thousand of small tesserae and incredible accuracy are visible in the famous Dove Mosaic of the Capitoline Museum, which was found in 1737 by Cardinal Alessandro Furietti in the ACCADEMIA. It is one of the world masterpieces of mosaic art in all times, and many scholars believe it is hellenistic. Donderer thinks that it could be the famous Dove Mosaics by Sosos which ancient sources described in the royal palaces of Pergamon. www.villa-adriana.net/pages/eng/page9.html |
