Marble Sculptures Through History
Marble sculptures have been the medium of choice for fine art pieces throughout history. Marble is valued as a medium for sculpture because of its fine texture, its sheen and for its ability to display fine details without cleaving or crumbling. The cost of marble has limited this medium in the past to pieces commissioned by rich patrons, however, today this medium is more affordable and it is accessible to a variety of artists from Europe to the Philippines.
