What is Marble Inlay
Work?
“Marble Inlay work” is
one of the most attractive art that done from marble. Same type of that adorns
the Taj Mahal and other Mughal monuments.It is a closely protected traditional
art and only a few expert exponents are available today. The delicate process
involves cutting and engraving marble shapes manually. To start with, a
predefined pattern e.g., floral design or geometrical design is engraved on the
marble slab. Small pieces of marble of different shades are cut delicately
to fit in these grooves precisely. These small pieces are then slipped in
the grooves. Apart from marble, many other materials can also be used.
History of Inlay Art:
Inlay work on delicate
precious stone began in the workshops of Florence in Italy around the end of
the 16th century. This was known as PIETRA DURA.(Pietra= Stone, Dura= Hard) The
Italians had created a classic artistic form and held a monopoly over it. From
1630 onwards pietra dura appeared on moveable, small objects as decorative
panels, with bird and flower motifs, suitable for cabinet fronts and table
tops. Some of these soon reached the Mughals in the form of presents. Of all
the Mughal Emperors, Shah Jahan was the greatest patron of architecture in
India. For him no amount of money or time was too much to create enduring,
everlasting architectural beauty and through it be remembered always. It is in his
buildings that one feels most compelled to make the connection between Mughal
art and pietra dura. The Taj Mahal, the cenotaphs of the Emperor and his wife,
the main floor and the surrounding marble railings bear very close resemblances
to the pietra dura form.
