Polychromatic Marble Panels: The large Cathedral of Florence is austere within, but its exterior is sheathed in polychromatic marble panels. The facade of Orvieto Cathedral, with its sculpture and mosaics, is a screen to hide the church. In this case, a timber Roof replaces Gothic vaults. The most striking Italian Gothic church is Milan Cathedral, largely of the 15th century. Despite its almost flat roofs, the forest of pinnacles in marble give it some Gothic feeling, as do the rich patterns of Flamboyant tracery.
Wooden Wall panels are made a certain size and shape, according to their period, and they are held in place by moldings and stiles. If they are imitated by applied moldings on a plaster Wall for economy's sake, the proper design and layout must be carried out.
A Wall covered in full or in part by marble (such as a dado or base¬board) is actually covered by marble slabs about one inch thick and of varying sizes. The marble joints are always visible, and if the desired effect is to be imitated in paint, the marble slabs, stiles, panels, and other parts with visible joints should be carefully imitated.See Also Imitate Marble And Wood:Wood or marble graining always ends with each separate piece of wood or marble. In the adjoining piece the graining commences in a different pattern or direction.
To be in good taste, painting made to imitate marble and wood wood or marble must create a complete illusion, and the work must be very realistic.

Antiquing of wallpaper. Painters are often called upon to give wallpaper an antique, mellow effect. This softens the colors and draws them together. If the wallpaper pattern is printed in water color (tempera), the paper should first receive a coat of gelatin size, followed by a coat of shellac. The glaze itself may be in oil or turpentine, and the procedure is the same as antiquing painted surfaces.
On The Other Hand See Ipentelic Marble:Walls were (j j^^^either of ashlar or faced concrete.

All periods of Greek art are well represented by surviving objects in materials other than the marble of the monumental arts or the fired clay of the vases. Although bronze was used for major statuary, bronzework is best known from smaller objects. Bronze mirrors had polished reflecting disks, often supported by small figures of women, delicately cast and inferior only in size to their marble kin.
