Stunning in their intricacy, these Florentine works of art are not paintings, but rather superb examples of the intensive art of pietre dure. The charming duo captures the courtship between a young woman and her suitor in the style of such 19th-century costume painters as Adolphe-Alexandre Lesrel and Eugène von Blaas. Different kinds of polished marble and minerals are used in place of paint to create the scene, which uses the natural grain and color of the stones to create the perfect trompe l'oeil effect.
