THE DEFINITION OF A MINIATURE The definition for this society is a work where the actual art work must not exceed 100 sq cm, (10 cm x 10cm) or any variation under this size (eg. 12 cm x 8 cm). The 1/6 scale rule, that an object or person may be no more than 1/6 the size it is in nature, has not been adopted by this society, but the ‘spirit of miniaturisation’ must always be maintained. In portraiture, depiction of the human head shall not be larger than 3.8cm from chin to crown. Subjects are only limited by the artist’s imagination. A miniature can convey all the beauty and power of a larger work of art but has the added appeal of being a particularly personal object. The viewer must view the work at close range to obtain a full appreciation of both the image and technique. The miniature has always had a feeling of preciousness associated with it due in part to the fact it can usually be held in the palm of your hand. GALLERY |
