The subject is our Blessed Lord in glory, surrounded by adoring angels. The Central Figure is of great dignity - seated and crowned - holding in one hand the cross-crowned orb of the world, and the other uplifted in benediction. Immediately beneath are a circle of the cherubim and seraphim, while below angel figures, two with censers, and the rest with various musical instruments, are grouped in graceful order. The plinth of the reredos is inlaid with malachite and other stones, and the whole is surmounted with some fine pinnacles, terminating in the symbolic figure of a pelican feeding her young with her blood, with angel figures on either side."</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Sources:</p><p>Barr, Sheldon. <i>Venetian Glass Mosaics: 1860-1917.</i> London: Antique Collectors' Club, 2008. 125.</p><p><a href="http://www.scottishchurches.org.uk/sites/site/id/5948/name/St+Paul%27s+Cathedral%2C+High+Street%2C+Dundee+Dundee+Tayside" target="_blank">Places of Worship in Scotland</a>.

John Fraser commenced the alabaster reredos as a memorial to his wife, but upon his death, it was finished by his children. The center panel consists of a Venetian mosaic of <i>The Last Supper</i> by Salviati, Burke and Co. while figures feeding the poor and healing the sick flank each respective side. The reredos was completed in 1882.<br />

It was a two story, red brick building with additional dormers under the steeply pitched roof.<br />

<br />
The exterior focal point of the building was the 120 ft tall by 19 ft wide clock tower located in the center of the main front facing Church Road. Salviati and Burke made the mosaics for the tower's four clock faces, which measured seven feet in diameter each.<br />

Salviati, Jesurum, and Co. reportedly made the two mosaics, which decorate separate parts of the enormous, red brick factory complex. The medallions look identical and depict King Mathias Corvinus (Mátyás király) on a golden background shown in a side portrait. The brewery's initials of "F" and "S" flank the face on each side, with the words "VED-JEGY" (trademark or brand) and "MATYAS KIRALY" around it on a ring of blue.<br />

The building framing a large chimney and facing Maglodi Street contains the (currently) more degraded mosaic. The laurel wreath around the mosaic center - appearing to be copper, but likely made of maiolica with an eosin glaze - is attributed to the Zsolnay Porcelain Manufacture of P<span class="fn"><span dir="ltr">é</span></span>cs and measures four meters in diameter.<br />

The second medallion is located on the spandrel of a covered walkway that connects two buildings. This also faces Maglodi Street, but is a much smaller mosaic (detail above).<br />

<br />
Funded by the Heritage of London Trust and working under the supervision of the English Heritage, the conservation work was necessary due to the poor state of the mosaics resulting from decades of exposure to environmental conditions after the bombing of the church in 1944.<br />
<br />
Most of the conservation was carried out in situ, including stabilization of mortars and loose tesserae, disinfection and cleaning. In the decorative border around St George, there was also the replacement of old repairs with new tesserae in the same tone.<br />
<br />
Another company had previously removed some of the mosaics, and these were restored at Skillington Ltd.'s workshop. Those conserved pieces are now being installed, which would complete the mosaic restoration project.<br />

Due to both a lack of space (the building was designed for 30,000 books and by the 1970s stored 750,000) and a need for new road construction, the second Birmingham Central Library was demolished in 1973. Construction had started on its successor in 1970, which opened in January 1974 and still stands today.</div>

The interior of the Shakespeare Memorial Library is the only part of the second library which survived. It was dismantled and then reassembled within the new building.</div>

The original building was taken over by the British government in World War I to house military officers. By 1972, not only had the stone facade weathered, but the whole building was damaged by the new Jubilee subway line. It was demolished in 1986 and replaced with the similarly styled Grand Buildings (housing the current Grand Hotel) designed by Sidell Gibson Partnership.<br />

Salviati also made the mosaic reredos for the Douglas designed <a href="http://salviatimosaics.blogspot.com/2015/01/st-john-baptist-aldford.html">St. John's Church in Aldford</a>, tying it back to Grosvenor through that additional connection.<br />

The museum was modeled after the National Museum in Athens, Greece. It opened in 1894 and with expansions in both 1898 and 1905, it soon became the largest privately-owned museum buildings in the world. <br />

Salviati decorated the exterior of the original building with mosaic panels between 1903 and 1905, at the time the firm made the mosaics for the Memorial Church. Both were to Paoletti's designs. The subject of the museum's thirteen panels are learning, the arts - like architecture and painting, and ancient civilizations - including Egypt and Rome. There are four, rectangular panels on the facade flanking the main entrance, two large gables at the ends, and three, smaller panels above the entry doors themselves. The museum's north rotunda also had niches decorated with Salviati mosaics.<br />

<br />
The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 that also severely damaged the Stanford Memorial Church, destroyed two-thirds of the museum building and collections. Luckily for the mosaics, the original structure sustained the least amount of damage.<br />

Budget cuts led to neglect and the museum fell into further disrepair, fully closing in 1945. Reopening in 1954, the galleries were gradually refurbished through fundraising and volunteers. Another earthquake in 1989 damaged the museum again, but it was subsequently rebuilt and opened as the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for the Visual Arts in 1999.<br />

It's called "Venice Presenting the Baton of Command to Francesco Morosini". <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KusU1enhkLc/U5yN-cvKaJI/AAAAAAAAFLY/KDlAC0CFHz4/s1600/Morosini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KusU1enhkLc/U5yN-cvKaJI/AAAAAAAAFLY/KDlAC0CFHz4/s1600/Morosini.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Morosini was a 17th century Venetian soldier and sailor. The composition
includes Morosini himself, Venetia as a beautiful woman, Kleio the muse
of history, and St. Mark's lion. More than 7,000 color variations in
tesserae were used with the noticeable exception of Salviati's signature gold.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1885, George Thomas Clark - a friend of Sir Austen Henry Layard - purchased the mosaic from the Venice and Murano Glass and Mosaic Company for 250 British Pounds and had it installed in the Hall of Talygarn House in Wales. Incidentally, Clark also gifted a mosaic reredos of the<i> Last Supper</i> by Salviati to the <a href="http://salviatimosaics.blogspot.com/2013/08/charterhouse-school-chapel-godalming.html" target="_blank">Charterhouse School</a> in Godalming.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The mosaic - seen above in Talygarn House - was removed in the 1920s when the house became a convalescent home for miners. At one point, it had been left in a field on the property and as of 2008, there was the intent to donate it to the National Museum of Wales. </div>

Salviati made a mosaic altarpiece and four Evangelists for the church. While the church was partially damaged during World War II, the central reredos of <i>The Good Shepherd</i> has been restored. The flanking arcades that most likely contained the other mosaics, however, stand empty.<br />

He made numerous funerary monuments in the cemeteries around Rijeka (including Kozala, Trsat-Susak, Opatija and Bakar), some of which Salviati also decorated with enamel mosaics. A catalog prepared for the 1893 World Columbian Exposition does not detail exactly which memorials Salviati worked on (and erroneously lists Trieste as the location of the cemeteries), but the following examples were all made by Rendic before 1893 and are embellished with mosaics.<br />

The museum also bought in 1864 a mosaic medallion of the head of St. John the Evangelist (item 797-1864) from Salviati for 25BP, but it is now also in storage.<br />

1863. He was educated in Paris and he began the development of the Suez
Canal. In addition to the Qasr al Nil, his grand palace in Cairo, Sa'id Pasha built a palace on the old (or west) Alexandria harbor at Mex (or Meks, Maks, or Al-Maqs). Unlike Sa'id's other Alexandrian palace at Gabari, the one at Mex was never finished.<br />
<br />
The floor and walls of the palace's saloon were decorated with Salviati mosaics, which were ordered in 1860 at the
cost of about 250,000 francs. Unfortunately, by 1878 the palace was a "bulbous ruin".<br />

Sometime between September 1862 and October 1863, Salviati decorated the church's western wall with mosaics of angels with widespread wings supporting scrolls of Scripture on the request of the same Reverend Ellacombe who supervised the 1850s restorations. Unfortunately, the mosaics did not seem to have survived the World War II damage.<br />

Maitani's Tuscan Gothic facade recalls the cathedrals at both <a href="http://salviatimosaics.blogspot.com/2013/04/siena-cathedral.html">Siena</a> and Florence. Cesare Nebbia designed the original mosaics from 1350-90.<br />
<br />

<br />
Just like with St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Salviati's craftsmen also restored the mosaics on the upper part of this cathedral's facade sometime before 1883.<br />
