For thousands of years and in many cultures people have been inspired by mosaics. Whether the stylistically reduced pebble mosaics of the Greeks or the golden splendor of the Byzantine churches—their stylistic diversity is just as great as the diversity of the materials used. With more than 200 illustrations, this volume shows the impressive range of this art form.

几千年来，在许多文化中，马赛克一直是人们的灵感来源。无论是希腊人艺术感稍弱的鹅卵石马赛克还是金碧辉煌的拜占庭教堂，它们的风格与所用的材料的一样形形色色。本书通过200多张插图展示了这种艺术形式令人惊叹的广泛性。
