In the 1520s in Europe, miniature portraits started being used used as jewelry, in lockets and brooches, particularly in France and England. Miniatures were especially popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.  This Niche painting has been celebrated and collected over the centuries.

A rule many ascribe to is that to qualify as a miniature painting, the subject must be painted no more than one sixth of its actual size. So an adult head would be about 9″. Some societies stipulate maximum sizes, for instance 5×7″ or 10×10cm.

I have had the pleasure to be apart of the Exclusive collections Gallery in San Diego.   They host an annual miniature show with the artists that are currently represented.  A wonderful event and will continue to grow and impact the community for art.
