Abstract (en)
Focuses on the materials and cost of important marble altars, ca.1480-1530, in Venetian churches. Discusses the variety and provenance of stone and marble, noting that gilding and polychromy were used to embellish sculpture and architectural decoration. Concludes that high cost of artistic undertakings was considered equivalent with high quality.
