Frontal in polychrome marble committed , 17th century Inlaid marbles underneath h 98 cm, l 176 cm; over 170 cm
Frontal in marble, centered by a sculpture depicting the Child Jesus with the globe, adorned at the corners with yellow jasper lilies. The triptych of three large reserves centers the above-mentioned sculpture in embossing. It is the result of the application of the "tramischio" technique which arises from the correct application of different colored marble crusts inside the hollows made on a single matrix consisting of a slab of white Carrara marble. In this way, a strong chromatic contrast is created on which frames and throwing sculptures are applied, which make the product three-dimensional. The sixteenth century had already started a renewal in the field of architectural decoration, but the real triumph of the application of colored marbles occurs in the seventeenth century with the advent of the Baroque. Sicilian marbles were famous throughout Italy and also in Rome our colored marbles were used alongside the whites of Carrara. The best known Sicilian colored marbles are: ancient libeccio, quarried in Custonaci, red in Castellammare, cotognino from Monte Pellegrinio (Palermo), yellow marble in Castronovo and Segesta, gray from Biglieni, the other variety of red from Plain of the Greeks. & Nbsp; & nbsp;
