Pietra dura is an inlay (a series of pictures) that described the legendary Greek god Orpheus playing the flute. In other words, it is any of several kinds of the hard stone used in commesso mosaic work, an art that flourished in Florence individually in the late 16 th and 17 th centuries. It involved the fashion of highly illusionistic pictures out of cut-to-shape pieces of coloured stone.
