A Journey Through Time
Marble has been prized by civilizations for millennia, revered for its durability and aesthetic appeal. The ancient Greeks and Romans, in particular, recognized the beauty of marble and used it extensively in their art and architecture. A key component in the visual character of these ancient civilizations was marble, which was used extensively in the construction of the Parthenon in Athens and the Colosseum in Rome.
Fast forward to the Renaissance, and marble experienced a resurgence in popularity as artists and architects rediscovered its potential for creating timeless masterpieces. Michelangelo’s David, sculpted from a single block of Carrara marble, is one of the most famous examples of marble craftsmanship from this period, showcasing the artist’s unparalleled skill and vision.
