Pietre Dure is a mosaic technique or more specifically a type of stone marquetry that originated in Rome and later reached zenith in Florence Italy in the 1600 and 1700s it is sometimes call Florentine Mosaic. Marble and many other types of semi-precious stones are carved and cut into small pieces. These small pieces were fitted together with no visible interstices (joints between the pieces) to make a painting that depicted landscapes or other subjects from the world. The texture of the stone mimics those found in nature: clouds, mountains or leaves and flowers. Pietre Dure also means hard or durable stones.
This amazing mural is inspired by classic Disneyland "It's a Small World" materials. Marble/Stone by Artwork Partners is the forefront of the modern renaissance of Pietre Dure - the ancient technique of using cut and fitted stones for murals. It's made from highly polished, fine quality, natural and synthetic materials. Both semi-precious stones and sumptuous woods and leathers were used in production of the mural. Each of the Walt Disney Signature Stone murals is a one of a kind original in an incredibly limited run, due to the exclusive nature of the materials and process used to make these stunning works of art.
