Pietra Dura Carpet
Marble Maquetery Immitation and Renaissance Decorations
Oil Painting on Plywood
This marquetry, typical of the Renaissance and widely revisited through the ages, was spotted by Blanca in the Château de Groussay sales catalog. It was featured on a pedestal table top. The idea then occurred to her to create her own version, to be displayed on the floor as a tribute to the Italian marquetry she had admired since childhood. 60 scales were designed, 60 marbles were chosen, arranged and painted by the artist around a Medusa resting on malachite and a Greek frieze that calms and orders the whole. Originally, the medallions featured Perseus’ weapons, but in this version Blanca has inserted her favorite mythological creatures as signatures. Deep-blue lapis lazuli provides a precious contrast, before being encircled by a final green marble to seal the whole.
