THE MASTER MOSAIC WORKERS (Les Maitres Mosaïstes). Translated from the French of George Sand by Charlotte C. Johnston. With a portrait of Titian, etched by W. H. W. Bicknell. 16mo. Cloth, extra, gilt top, $1.25.
A story of Venice in the time of Titian and Tintoretto, who figure prominently in the work. The mosaic work executed in the restoration of the basilica of St. Mark is fully described, and George Sand has followed very closely the facts as given by Vasari regarding the brothers Zuccati and Bartolomeo Bozza. The story is one of exquisite beauty and great power.
“The Master Mosaic Workers” is one of the most delightful of historical novels, and gives a vivid picture of the life in Venice at the time when Titian, Tintoretto, and Giorgione were in their zenith, and when the famous mosaics which still adorn St. Mark’s were being made.—Literary World.
