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 onward 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.
