Decorative technique for furniture

Marbleizing (also spelt marbleising) or faux marbling is the preparation and finishing of a surface to imitate the appearance of polished marble. It is typically used in buildings where the cost or weight of genuine marble would be prohibitive. Faux marbling is a special case of faux painting used to create the distinctive and varied patterns of marble - the most imitated stone by far. thumb|Faux painting by Andre' Martinez in the Colorado State Capitol 2005 thumb|Giotto, [[Scrovegni Chapel.]] thumb|Giotto, [[Scrovegni Chapel.]]

In two-dimensional works of art, such as painting, printmaking, photography or bas-relief, repoussoir (, pushing back) is an object along the right or left foreground that directs the viewer's eye into the composition by bracketing (framing) the edge. It became popular with Mannerist and Baroque artists, and is found frequently in Dutch seventeenth-century landscape paintings. Jacob van Ruisdael, for example, often included a tree along one side to enclose the scene (see illustration). Figures are also commonly employed as repoussoir devices by artists such as Paolo Veronese, Peter Paul Rubens
