The mosaic that your space will thank you for.
Vertumnus Mixed Mosaic – Classical Mural Reproduction
Vertumnus Mosaic Mural Reproduction is a handmade mosaic interpretation of Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s portrait of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II as Vertumnus, the Roman god of the seasons and growth. Crafted by mosaicist Lorenzo De Rosso from mixed materials and natural marble and stones, the artwork translates the celebrated classical portrait into a detailed mosaic mural.
The artwork is crafted on mesh support and can be customized in size, color, shape, and natural stone type. It can be adapted for wall decoration, floor inlays or rugs, backsplashes, countertops, and tabletops.
Materials and Craft
Vertumnus is made from mixed materials and incorporates natural marble and stones that are hand-cut by artists and assembled into the mosaic. The artwork is crafted on mesh support, providing a structured foundation for the hand-assembled composition.
Each mosaic is handmade from individually cut natural stones, creating slight variations in color and cut. The artwork is created by mosaicist Lorenzo De Rosso.
Design Details
The artwork reproduces Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s portrait of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II portrayed as Vertumnus, the Roman god of the seasons and growth. Arcimboldo’s distinctive portrait concept is translated into a hand-assembled mosaic composition using natural marble and stones.
The combination of classical portraiture, botanical imagery, and natural stone mosaic technique makes Vertumnus suited to searches for classical mosaic wall art, Arcimboldo reproductions, historical portrait mosaics, Renaissance-inspired artwork, and Roman mythology decor.
The marble and stone mosaic is available in Natural, Polished, and Tumbled finishes. Natural uses authentic marble tiles without treatment, Polished creates a glossy and smooth surface, and Tumbled distresses the edges and surface of the stone to create an antique appearance.
Where It Works
Vertumnus can be incorporated into residential, commercial, and architectural interiors as a classical mosaic mural or decorative surface treatment.

You are 6 simple steps away to completely transforming your space:
Step 1. Gently open your package and unravel your mosaic. The mosaic is mounted on a fiber mesh backing and wrapped with a protective film from the reverse. Gently remove the protective film without damaging the mesh and remove any excess glue. Should individual stones have become loose during shipment, glue them back using a solvent-based adhesive.
Step 2. Using your trowel, spread a thin layer of adhesive or white thin-set mortar across the surface you wish to tile. If you’re placing your mosaic on a vertical wall or ceiling, you can always glue it to a wooden board and secure the board to the wall. In the case of large wall installations, nailing little nails into the gaps between the stones for a stronger seal is recommended. If the mosaic is to be laid in a humid or wet room, the laying area must be made waterproof. A special sealing adhesive should be used.
Step 3. Gently place the mosaic and use the flat end of the grout float to ensure the mosaic is perfectly flat and well adhered to the surface. Remove any excess of mortar with a damp cloth.
Step 4. Wait for at least 24 hours for the mortar to dry out. Once the mortar is dry, moisten the tiles using a damp sponge, spread your desired grout to fill the spaces between tiles using your grout float. Wipe down any excess grout, first with a dry towel, then a wet one. (Before applying the grout, make sure to glue back in place any fallen stone using a solvent-based adhesive)
Step 5. Once dry (will take approximately 24 hours), apply a marble and stone sealer.
Step 6. Take a step back and admire the space you’ve just transformed.

Your mosaic has its very own fingerprint
Just like your fingertips, your mosaic will be unique in the world. There are two reasons for this:
1. Nothing’s set in stone. Yet. Before you buy, you can customize: For any surface: Turn it into a floor inlay or rug, wall decoration, backsplash, countertop or tabletop. For any space: Make it sparkle indoors or outlast sun, snow and cannonball splashes outdoors. For any style: Change the size, natural stone type and color.
2. All mosaics are not created equal. Each one is made of natural stones, hand-cut by our artists. This means that while your art will look like the image above, we can’t guarantee an exact replica. Your masterpiece will have slight variations in color and cut of the tiles that will make it truly one of a kind.
