As a very long time decorative painter (I particularly love faux marble and faux bois), I find this absolutely fascinating and exquisite. Such artistry(!), in Europe, during the Baroque and Rococo periods...beyond amazing!

Considering the process involved in making Scagliola and the forms that can be made which are not really possible in stone calling it a falsehood is a misrepresentation of what goes on. All the same this is an absolutely stellar bit of work and I appreciate it immensely.

Amazing. I'd always assumed the marble was real.

One of my biggest dreams, is became a painter/ Stucco Restorer and work with all this beautiful artwork of Rocco, marbled, stucco and paintings! :-)

Great video ! The labour costs in those days were extremely low ; so thàt helped too. The faux marble technique is very fascinating. When seeing the library I suddenly got cravings for wedding cake for some reason.

Hard working Hanz, really puts they skills into art's domain

To think even back then they used "fake materials" for grand buildings, and how exquisite it turned out!

wow such a great lesson.. great video... Thank you all for sharing your knowledge.

Absolutely fantastic

It's interesting how necessity is the mother of invention, by that I mean marble is so expensive, and a alternative was created that is so like real marble, quiet amazing, so good infact you wouldn't know the difference unless you knew, or had to carrythe weight of it, genius.

You can't fool me! That's Belle's library that the Beast gave to her.

Good eye! For the live action remake of the Beauty and the Beast they actually recreated rococo interiors of Bavarian palaces. Belle's bedroom for example is modeled after the "Hall of Mirrors in Nymphenburg Palace". Type it into Google and you'll recognize it. :)

Translation error: Leim does not mean Lime. Leim means glue in English - specifically in this case bone glue made from animal bones, which is a very old fashioned kind of glue that they would have used in back then. Not sure if there will be more errors, but fuck me. How did they miss that? I'm drunk and I noticed!

Thank you for the clarification. This makes a lot more sense. I knew that traditional scagliola (this faux marble plaster) uses "scotch glue" or animal glue, so I was wondering if this video had it right. They also added things like small marble chips into the mix to give it more marble like qualities sometimes, but yeah, the plaster, hide glue (mixed with water as I understand), and the pigment are the primary ingredients.

@@joseffinat966 Animal glues don't use solvents. You use heat and water to soften them and then as they cool and dry they harden. When mixed with plaster in these small amounts it really wouldn't be that sticky on your hands. Dierlijke lijmen gebruiken geen oplosmiddelen. Je gebruikt warmte en water om ze zacht te maken en als ze afkoelen en drogen, harden ze uit. Wanneer het in deze kleine hoeveelheden met gips wordt gemengd, zou het echt niet zo plakkerig op je handen zijn. (used google translate)

It's interesting to me how, during my year of architecture study in Europe, we never looked at Rococo buildings or interiors. My thought: rococo is excessively ornate, to the point of lacking a strong unified visual structure. The florid lines of rococo decoration are like cake frosting, an add-on that is usually too saccharine to be taken seriously. In contrast with the disciplined formal languages of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.

I agree with that one, Rococo always made it feel like being in a fractal weird fever dream.

I tried making stucco marble, but it does not shine even after polishing.

Scagliola is often what looks like polished marble in buildings.

I'd be scared stiff of bumping into it and chipping it!
