Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color
It is an exhibition that is now taking place at the Metropolitan Museum, in New York, and part of a work already known by professors Prof. Dr. V. Brinkmann, Head of the Department of Antiquity at the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, and Dr. U. Koch-Brinkmann, who reminds us that the statues of the ancient Grecco-Roman world were not white, as we are used to seeing nowadays in museums, but vivid and full of colors, and sometimes adornments and clothing (kosmos) , and which had entirely another connotation besides art.
