Georgia white marble stones similar to Newgrange

When we visited Newgrange in County Meath Ireland (twice in 2019), I was awestruck how the white stones reminded me of the house my parents built when I was a teenager. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!): It took five years to build our house When I was 12, my parents bought 6 acres of undeveloped…

pietre dure tabletop (detail)

Pietra dura developed from the ancient Roman opus sectile, which at least in terms of surviving examples, was architectural, used on floors and walls, with both geometric and figurative designs. In the Middle Ages cosmatesque floors and small columns etc. on tombs and altars continued to use inlays of different colours in geometric patterns. Byzantine art continued with inlaid floors, but also produced some small religious figures in hardstone. In the Italian Renaissance this technique again was used for images. The Florentines, who most fully developed the form, however, regarded it as 'painting in stone'. As it developed in Florence, the technique was initially called opere di commessi (approximately, "Fitted together works"). Medici Grand Duke Ferdinando I of Tuscany founded the Galleria di'Lavori in 1588, now the Opificio delle pietre dure, for the purpose of developing this and other decorative forms. A multitude of varied objects were created. Table tops were particularly prized, and these tend to be the largest specimens.
