New Limited Edition Stone and Marble Scuptures

Welcome to Walt Disney Signature Stone presented by Sanders Art Studios and Artwork Partners Inspired by conceptual art for the "It's a Small World" attraction, this piece celebrates the brilliant color stylings of one of Walt Disney's favorite artists, Mary Blair. Pietre Dure is a mosaic technique or more specifically a type of stone marquetry that originated in Rome and later reached z 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.
