Florentine mosaic - Pietra dura Painting

The portrait of the Emir of Kuwait is made exclusively from natural stones using the Florentine mosaic technique. The legendary Florentine mosaic dates back to the distant middle ages. The art of the Italian masters at all times aroused admiration both for its paintings and works of applied art. But the way of drawing with small stones deserves special admiration. The creation of only one square meter of such hard work required sometimes more than one year, and the participation of several masters. Each stone was manually processed and closely adjusted to the main picture, being fixed with a special binder composition. It was impossible to make a mistake in the process of this work. After all, people's faces, for example, were created very similar, like miniature oil paintings, and even the slightest mistake in the work could lead to distortion of the whole picture.of the Florentine mosaic.
