DID YOU KNOW?

Ancient Roman statues weren't white as we see them today but were actually colorful.

Roman artists used a wide range of pigments, painting media, and surface applications to embellish their marble sculptures.

In the 19th century, archaeologists unearthed better-preserved items that had traces of color.

But these were mostly ignored — and often actively scrubbed off — until as late as the 1960s.

It was only then that scholars began to confirm that the white sculptures we all associated with Ancient Greece and Rome were actually painted with multiple colors — a practice known as polychromy.

The paint had deteriorated and faded over time, but evidence of it remained.

We have to talk about something that is happening in this generation...

Today, in the actuality "art" can have millions of definitions and meanings, by example this is art:

but the picture right from above is also called "art". The problem in our society is that literaly everyone who picks a piece of cardboard and plugs a stick on it is automaticly a "masterpiece and full of deep meaning" and is a "artist" like stfu man

B*TCH PLEASE THESE ARE TRULY SCULPTURES MASTERPIECES

"Why no one sculpts the way of the old masters anymore?"

"Because, my friend, nowadays there's better artists around, but you were too conservative and whiny to just look around and see. You, my friend, don't want to support art and artists, you just want to whine and say that today we're all degenerates. Search and support what you like, instead of crying for the clout".

Back to Fabio Viale works, I'm so glad that I discovered his art today! His sculptures are incredible, and even more incredible is that I never heard of him until today.

Obsessed by this statue I saw today in Le Havre (France) from the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale. The design isn't painted on... The ink is injected inside the marble like a real tattoo. And if I remember correctly what the guide said, it took the artist three weeks to do just that.

How stunning is this
