Το χρώμα στην αρχαία ελληνική τέχνη;

Όταν σκεφτόμαστε την αρχαία ελληνική τέχνη, συνήθως φανταζόμαστε λευκά αγάλματα και λαμπερούς μαρμάρινους ναούς. Αυτή η εικόνα μας έχει μείνει από τα σχολικά βιβλία και τις αναπαραστάσεις. Όμως, σύγχρονες έρευνες δείχνουν κάτι διαφορετικό. Με νέες τεχνικές, οι επιστήμονες βρήκαν ίχνη χρώματος σε πολλά αρχαία αντικείμενα. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι τα αγάλματα και τα κτήρια της εποχής δεν ήταν λευκά, αλλά γεμάτα ζωντανά χρώματα. Η αρχαία ελληνική τέχνη ήταν πολύ πιο πολύχρωμη και εντυπωσιακή απ’ ό,τι νομίζαμε μέχρι σήμερα.
