Mann establishes the importance and unique beauty of this overlooked and magnificent genre, a merging of art and nature. Although painting on stone surfaces dates back to ancient Greece, the technique saw an efflorescence throughout Europe in the early modern period, thanks in part to increasing interest in the natural sciences. Intended as an introduction to the subject, the essays--contributed by an international team of scholars--clearly explain why stone supports were used for paintings, how stone was acquired, and techniques used for creating images. . . . This stunning volume will undoubtedly become a go-to resource on the subject.
Synopsis
Paintings on Stone: Science and the Sacred 1530-1800 examines a fascinating tradition long overlooked by art historians-stone surfaces used to create stunning portraits, mythological scenes, and sacred images. Written by an international team of experts, the catalogue reveals the beauty of these works, their complex meanings, and their technical virtuosity. Using a technique perfected by Sebastiano del Piombo (1485-1547), 16th-century Italian 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 early 18th century. Paintings on Stone: Science and the Sacred 1530-1800 reveals the beauty of these works and examines the complexity of using materials such as marble, alabaster, lapis lazuli, and amethyst. Illustrated with more than 100 examples, Paintings on Stone is the most significant reference on this little-studied practice written by an international team of scholars. The exhibition at Saint Louis Art Museum opens on February 20, 2022, and closes on the 15th of May 2022., Paintings on Stone examines a fascinating tradition long overlooked by art historians--stone surfaces used to create stunning portraits, mythological scenes, and sacred images. Written by an international team of scholars, the catalogue reveals the significance of these paintings, their complex meanings, and their technical virtuosity. Using a technique perfected by Sebastiano del Piombo (1485-1547), sixteenth-century Italian 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 eighteenth century. This volume reveals the beauty of these works and examines the complexity of using materials such as slate, marble, alabaster, lapis lazuli, and amethyst. Illustrated with more than one hundred examples, and with essays on topics ranging from importing stone to its relationship to alchemy, Paintings on Stone will become the essential reference on this little-studied practice.

    Arrived in amazing condition! Seller packaged it so well, and even wrapped it up in paper, so it almost felt like opening a present. I was beyond impressed and happy with how well it was fitted to the box. Felt very secure and safe, which is important to me as someone who keeps their books in like new condition. Seller accepted my offer and answered my messages very quickly. Best experience I’ve had on Ebay hands down. Would absolutely shop from them again in the future.
