Description

Explore the hidden history of ancient art with Facing the Colours of Roman Portraiture. While most Roman marble portraits appear white today, they were originally created with intentional polychromy to enhance their forms. This academic monograph from De Gruyter provides a deep look into how color completed and extended these sculpted shapes. This book presents findings from scientific analysis of various portraits, including both statuary and bust formats. Focusing on works from the first three centuries CE, it addresses a significant gap in art historical and archaeological research. It is an essential resource for those studying the materiality and original appearance of ancient Roman marble works.
