WHAT IS MINIATURE ART?
Miniature art is fine art, a specialty art, not a novelty art. Through the ages it has been considered an art form with often extremely detailed work, exquisite in color with a strength of composition which can more than compete with larger paintings. It usually takes as long or longer to produce as it does to produce a large piece. A fine miniature can be magnified many times, and it will still hold together as a fine work of art of much greater size. Most artists can work large, but few have the skill and discipline to work miniature. This unique art form, based on a minute scale, traces its roots back to book paintings and illuminated manuscripts of the 7th century. Miniature art often amazes the viewer to what is possible for the artist to create in such a small space. With minimal space requirements and favorable cost, this makes original fine art within the reach of both art lovers and collectors.
