Ancient classical sculptures were brightly painted, and this fact has been proven beyond doubt. Alternative texturizations of 3 three-dimensional models of the Kouros statue. Left: 3D model of the remains of a Kouros from the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, texturized in yellow marble. Middle: 3D model of Kouros “Apollo of Tenea” from the Russian Imperial Academy of Arts, texturized in white marble as usual in the public imagination. Right: the same 3D model of Kouros “Apollo of Tenea” from the Russian Imperial Academy of Arts, but texturized following scientific research indicating it was polychromous, with stylized pubic hair, decorated areolas (nipples) and arched eyebrows (Brinkmann et al 2017). Texturizations by Delfina Sol Pandiani, 2020.
