Weekday Sketchers At the Met for CHROMA
Join us this week as we explore the Greek and Roman galleries through different eyes: those of a citizen of the ancient cities who would have seen these statures painted in full color.
The Met has recreated a number of pieces and present them in the colors they would have been painted. The pieces are scattered throughout the galleries and are rather startling to look at, whole, intact and colorful. Make sure to visit the interpretive gallery on the upper level where the process of how they determined the original color is explained in detail.
