description
Using a technique perfected by Sebastiano del Piombo, 16th-century artists created compositions using stone surfaces in place of panel or canvas. The practice of using stone supports continued to engage European artists and patrons well into the 18th century. The book examines the complexity of using materials such as slate, marble, alabaster, lapis lazuli, and amethyst. Illustrated with more than 100 examples, Paintings on Stone will become the essential reference on this little-studied practice.
