Sculpture in Ancient Greece

Thanks to 25 years of research by an international team of scholars that was originally launched at Harvard University's Arthur M. Sackler Museum in the U.S., we can now see how ancient Greek and Roman artworks really looked like during that time period.

Researchers argue that back in the time of their creation, Roman and Greek monuments were vibrant and multi-coloured. It is simply that centuries of deterioration have removed any trace of the pigments.

In Time Trip Adventure 1, one of the first things Zammie notices when he and Kyla arrive in Delphi is that the buildings, sculptures, and statues are not the gray and dreary stone that he has seen in his text books or on websites. They are painted in bright, vibrant colors which add another layer of artistic expression to the already impressive carvings.
