@_theiconoclass: This video took me 3 years to make. It’s one of two YouTube videos I have made for my PhD (!) and I’m so, SO excited to finally share it with you all! Link in bio to full (20 minute!) video: Why the world is obsessed with fake marble It would mean the world to me if you’d watch, like, and share with anybody interested in art, history, and why the world is the way it is. Humans have been obsessed with marble for millennia. And we’ve been making fake marble for just as long. But why? From the ancient Romans to 17th century Dukes, from painters to glass makers, from bespoke craft to mass-produced kitchen bench tops: This is the true history of fake marble. #fauxmarble #arthistory #videoessay #documentary
