Abstract:

This paper presents the results of the characterisation, identification, provenance determination, and quantification of the white, greco scritto-like and polychrome marbles used for architectural purposes at Forum Sempronii, a Roman town in the Marche region of Italy. Samples of five fragments of white marble and one fragment of a greco scritto-like marble have been studied using mineralogical and petrographic observations and stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) of carbon and oxygen. Polychrome marbles were macroscopically identified by comparison with reference samples and available image d

Abstract:

Weathering processes seriously affect the durability of outdoor marble monuments. In urban environments, a very common deterioration phenomenon is the dark discoloration or blackening of marble. This paper describes a multidisciplinary study on the state of conservation of white marbles of the Florence Cathedral and the microbial community involved in their deterioration. The study is focused on the widespread dark discoloration of marble analyzed in two differently exposed sites of the Cathedral. It aims to provide information useful for future interventions to control the microbial growth. B

Therefore, the role of cyclic thermal shocks on the physical and mechanical properties of marble specimens was systematically investigated.

Although one of the most celebrated sculptors of the nineteenth century, little is known about Bertel Thorvaldsen’s relationship with the white marble he sculpted from. Today, scholars generally accept that Thorvaldsen knew how to sculpt in marble; however, for many years - including during his own lifetime - people regarded his investment in the white stone as somewhat detached. Taking the debate around Thorvaldsen’s marble-carving skills as a point of departure, this article analyses the evidence at hand: the marble sculptures themselves as preserved in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen.

Abstract:

The annexation of the Noricum Kingdom by the Roman Empire in 16 BC brought an increase in the trading relations between the empire and its northern neighbours. A first hub for these relations was the emporium on the Magdalensberg in Noricum Mediterraneum (today southern Carinthia/Austria). During the last decades, archaeological investigations of this settlement in a remote mountainous area revealed, inter alia, different kinds of marble decoration and architecture. Provenance analyses using a combination of different methods, including isotope analysis, trace element analysis and the analysis

Abstract:

Many Greek and Roman sculptures in the Louvre appear to be made of coarse-grained, very white dolomitic marble from the north Aegean island of Thasos, and permission was given to test twelve of them in a non-destructive way using a mobile X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. Coarse-grained, white dolomitic marble sources were rare in antiquity, and if these Thasian-looking sculptures proved to be dolomitic rather than calcitic, it is highly likely that they were in fact made of Thasian marble. Ten of the twelve sculptures did prove to be dolomitic marble and therefore very probably Thasian i

Abstract:

A grey-white marble/UP composite material was prepared by using marble powder as the filler and Unsaturated polyester (UP) resin as the polymer matrix. Optimum amount of marble powder added into 100 g UP resin was 200g. The gel time and the curing time were 10.5min and 34min respectively, the peak temperature reaches 71.44°C, and heat-resistance temperature was enhanced by 81°C. Marble/UP composite material is smooth, equally distributed, and no aggregation of particles of marble powder.

The study of ancient marble plays an important role in the interpretation of historical and archaeological sites and gives interesting information about building materials used in ancient times and their trade routes. The present work focuses on Chianocco marble that represents one of the most important ancient white marbles for cultural heritage exploited in the Piedmont region (Northwest Italy) and employed for the Palazzo Madama façade.

Abstract:

In order to research roughness of rock fracture surfaces and interior damaged status of rock, some Brazil discs of white marble and sandstone are loaded to fracture by Brazil Test and the mathematical model of fractal variation is used to distinguish the morphology characterization of fracture surface of white marble from that of sandstone. Through computing the acquired scanned data of rock fracture surfaces, the following three results are obtained. First, the roughness of fracture surface increases with increase of loading angles, furthermore, the anisotropy of white marble fracture surface

Abstract Large expanses of granulite-facies white marble occur in the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville orogen in western Quebec and in contiguous areas of eastern Ontario and New York. Locally, the white rock is transformed into “varicolored” marble, ranging from pink, orange, yellow, green, gray to blue marble, in some cases closely juxtaposed. We have dissected specimens from three target areas in western Quebec. A powerful analytical workflow including high-resolution ZEISS Atlas 5 large-area imaging was employed in combination with detailed energy-dispersive spectroscopy analy

Abstract:

The article is an attempt to present the semantics of marble in the sacred Polish sculpture of Romanticism. Taking as its starting point the modern theory of art, it first emphasizes the special role of white marble in modern sculptural theory and practice, and then outlines the foundation of this judgment in the art of the classicist era, especially in the theory of J.J. Winckelmann. Together with the spread of classical tastes, the significance of this view for Polish modern sculpture is shown, in which, in accordance with Winckelmann’s taste, white marble was perceived as the noblest raw ma

Abstract:

In 44 BC, Julius Caesar established Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis, strategically reviving Corinth to dominate Isthmian trade routes and extend Rome’s commercial influence eastwards. At the centre of the colony lies Temple E, an enigmatic structure with an unidentified associated cult. This study investigates the architectural characteristics of Temple E, focusing on the use of marble as the primary building material. Petrographic analysis, elemental chemical profiling (Mn, Mg, Fe, Sr, Y, V, Cd, La, Ce, Yb, U), and isotopic measurements (δ18O ‰, δ13C ‰) are employed to analyse marble samples

Abstract:

This paper offers a survey of the uses of Iasian marbles and their relationships with other stones. In the 6th century, these marbles were used for wall cladding and flooring, with an aim to alternate with or frame lighter marbles, as was the case in Iasos, in the Agora Basilica. Similar combinations were attested in the cladding of synthronoi of the basilicas A and C of Nea Anchialos. In the latter, the sides of the presbytery were framed with red cipollino slabs of different lengths and widths. In the prostoon, verde antico was added to red and white veined marbles.

It was built in just four years (1956–60), following a design by urbanist Lúcio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer. However, despite the worldwide recognition of the architectural value of the buildings, the extensive use of white marbles as cladding is scarcely mentioned in the literature.
