- Summary
- "Two years after the important round table held in the prestigious Uffizi and dedicated to the theme of polychromy in ancient sculpture and architecture, the essays of some of the leading experts in the sector have been collected in this volume. From Etruscan tombs to Hellenistic sculptures, passing through the Niobe group in the Uffizi, polychromy is investigated here from an artistic, but also technical-scientific point of view: while some interventions tell the story of important masterpieces, others focus on the recovery of their chromatic splendor, others are finally dedicated to the chemical analysis of pigments. To complete the richness of the volume, a very large set of images, but also explanatory tables and graphs could not be missing." --machine-translated content
