Calacatta Gold Mosaic Backsplash

Origin and History

The original meaning of the Calacatta Gold mosaic backsplash is derived from the term "mosaic," which refers to a mosaic pattern and the art of mosaic technology. This form of artistic expression originated in Babylon.

In ancient Greece, early marble mosaics were predominantly in black and white. Due to the complexity of the craft and the cost of materials, only authoritative rulers and wealthy individuals could afford to commission mosaics as a luxurious form of art.

As Greek mosaics evolved, artists sought to diversify their work. They began cutting smaller stones and arranging them into intricate patterns, marking the transition into the late Greek mosaic period.

During the Roman era, mosaics became widely popular and common. They adorned the floors and walls of both ordinary houses and public buildings, adding to the grandeur of Roman architecture and contributing to its luxurious aesthetic.

The golden age of mosaics began with early Christians who migrated to Rome. Persecuted at the time, they gathered in underground spaces such as basements, where glass mosaic murals depicted the story of Jesus Christ. Since many early Christians were illiterate, these mosaics served as a means of storytelling.

Constantine the Great, the Roman emperor who legalized Christianity, played a crucial role in promoting this art form. The churches of Constantinople (Byzantium) featured a vast number of mosaics, incorporating an increasing variety of colors and even gold leaf fused into transparent glass. Sicilian mosaics became known for their characteristic gold backgrounds, making the Byzantine period synonymous with mosaic artistry.
