A website is offering images of colored ancient statues. The experiments in color are part of “a growing trend that has resulted in a recent Vatican Museum exhibit on colored statues, as well as actual restoration of the world’s best-preserved painted sculpture. Before these projects, most all Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman and other early sculptures only were seen in the monotone colors of the sculpture’s primary material, such as clay or marble, even though many of the objects originally were covered with gilt and bright paints.”
