Marble Sculpture History and Method Marble is a metamorphic rock derived from limestone, which is mostly composed of calcite. Marble is made when the limestone is transformed by heat and pressure after being overlain by other materials.
Sculpting with marble is an ancient and cherished art. Humans have been fashioning shapes from stone since our very humble and first beginnings - even before scribbling on cave walls! Sculpting monuments with marble began as early because the first century BC, or maybe earlier consistent with current findings.
Marble sculptures are extremely durable, and even over centuries they still retain their exquisite beauty and durability - some examples being: Ganesha, Shiv, Gauri-shankar, Krishna, Radhe-Krishna, Natraj,Buddha, and many more from the religion of India.
These have kept their magnificence for hundreds of years. All over the world today marble sculptures bring intriguing beauty to home owners, business owners, gardens, galleries, schools, religious institutions, and all manner of other venues; to refine, decorate, and honor particular people of special influence.
Today artists or handicrafts from Agrawal Moorti Bhandar (company based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India) have developed extremely modern methods of stone casting, due to the much-needed concept of 'mass production' in the business of art today.
There are also several different types of marble combinations that can be used. In this statue casting process, marble is mixed together with resins and binding agents and then poured into a mold that was created from the original clay model.
The genius of this new and innovative marble casting process is that these marble statue replicas are still extremely strong and weather resistant, and that they won't yellow over time - they don't crack or have bubbles, and they can be washed with most cleaning agents.
So, thanks to these amazingly modern processes, all of us can enjoy the elegant beauty of marble statues in our homes and other venues at much
more affordable prices. And the painstaking 'chip away' process that used to take a year or two - (or more), to complete one large marble statue, now can be finished at an incredibly faster rate.
