The art of stone: masterpieces from the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert collection

Uittreksel

Focusing on 50 works from the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection, this book showcases the arts of stone mosaic (known as pietre dure), carving, inlay, and more. Detailed photography shows the interplay between craftsmanship and cut-and-polished stones, including amethyst, lapis lazuli, and jasper. Often remarkably complex to produce, many of these pieces were commissioned by the wealthy royal families as symbols of their power and prestige.
