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.
