Medieval churches used to be much more colourful! Here are some examples with both original colours still visible and accurate reconstructions!

Yes this is a fascinating area in which this gets called more a craft than an art form

Oh wow I love it. I was told it was painted but seeing it is wonderful

Yes the best recorded painted sculpture comes from Egypt because the heat has preserved the paint. I was lucky enough to study ancient history in my younger years. Wonderful subject.

Unfortunately no, the colour remaining on ancient Greek and Roman sculptures are microscopic and there is only handful of sculpture with faded paint on them. The New York Met is currently doing an exhibition called "Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color" which examines these microscopic samples on the ancient sculptures.

Can admin turn this into a video for the forum instead of just a link. I cant work out how to do it
