Disputed (Double Indirect Method)
The article says the double reverse method (which appears to be the same elsewhere called double indirect or Ravenna technique) was invented in 1989 and patented by one person for his company; The technique seems to be widely understood to have existed for a long time, and the link provided doesn't seem to back up that the technique was invented in 1989.

I think I can provide more academic/authoritative links from home tomorrow evening, when I have access to my library, but here are artists and schools referring to it predating 1989:
 * http://www.maverickmosaics.com/workshops/ravenna-technique-with-michael-kruzich/ ("The “Ravenna method” was developed in the Byzantine era" ... "In the Ravenna method, materials are set into a temporary bed of clay or lime paste where they can be moved and changed until the final effect is achieved"


 * http://mosaicschool.com/art/double_reverse/ "The Double Reverse Technique is also referred as the “Ravenna Technique” It is a 1500 year old method, handed down from the Roman/Byzantine times."


 * https://www.guelphmercury.com/living-story/3251435-tink-tink-tink-five-day-crash-course-in-ravenna-teaches-the-ancient-art-of-mosaics/ ("The workshop would focus on making a replica of an ancient mosaic, using a grout-free "double-reverse" method developed in Ravenna several centuries ago.")

I will aim to add more later. Liastnir (talk) 20:04, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Disconnected Fragment
On 2020-03-02, Wikipedian added a block of text: the Hall of the Seasons, mosaic floor, busts representing the four seasons are found in the corners of the border of the mosaic. Each bust has an elongated face, large almond-shaped eyes and long hair bound to the forehead by a ribbon to the section on robotic manufacturing. It doesn't seem to belong there, but a quick skim through the page doesn't show me where it should be. I'm reluctant to just delete it, BRD notwithstanding; it certainly looks relevant.

Anyone care to opine (or act)?

Theory Of Mosaic Art
During the ancient times, on the lands of Anatolia, Roman Empire and Persian Empire, people were searching gold on the surfaces of light moving small rivers and waters. The games of light on the water surfaces and the combination of lights and colors on the surfaces, most probably effected the artists and mosaic masters. When we check the surface of slow moving rivers and waters, we can easily see the shapes of mosaic, geometries of light and colors. It is not just becouse of light combinations, but also the game between small stones" (under surface) color reflections with light effects on the surface.

Opus palladianum, the hidden stepchild
Opus palladianum deserves an art. of its own, but there's a redirect that sends to Mosaic and thus hides the actual "red link". All other opus types have either "true blue" or red links. Arminden (talk) 19:42, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
