Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges our contemporary understanding of sculpture by examining the ancient practice of decorating statues with paint and ornaments. While acknowledging the existence of ancient polychrome sculptures, the author questions whether this practice originated with the great masters and whether it was widely adopted during the peak of Greek sculpture. Through careful analysis, the book explores the thematic depth and ideas presented by ancient polychrome sculpture, leading to a deeper understanding of its historical context and broader significance.
