Marble is a traditional material that has been used in art for thousands of years, primarily for sculpture. It is a metamorphic rock made from recrystallized limestone. The material is relatively easy to shape while also being durable, which makes it suitable for detailed sculptural work.

Marble has been used for everything from small figurines to large monuments and has played an important role in art history. Well-known artists such as Michelangelo and Bernini worked with marble, especially during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Working with marble requires precision and experience, as the stone is hard but can also crack.

Marble sculptures are often placed in museums, public buildings, or outdoor environments where they can be preserved for a long time. Marble is still used today by artists who want to work with a classic, stable material.
