Описание к видео A Legacy of Baroque Splendour | Pietra Dura Tabletop

Join us as we explore the legacy of baroque splendour surrounding this remarkable late 16th century pietra dura Tabletop, inlaid marble with polychrome stones. This object stands out as a true rarity, because so few of these 16th century pieces survive today. The practise of cutting precious stones, valued highly since the time of the ancient Egyptians, was developed in the Roman Empire and later flourished in the Renaissance as the pietra dura technique; an incredibly complex arrangement of finely cut stones inserted in a ground of white marble. Stay tuned and discover the wonders of this magnificent work of art. Get in touch for more information. #colnaghi1760
