Antique Greek sculpture cannot be imagined without its colouring,
which makes it lifelike. Traces of these colours can be discovered
today with the aid of modern technologies. Fantastic ornaments
on clothes, seeing eyes, coloured skin and painted hair become
visible on the marble bodies. Paris, Trojan prince and lover of
beautiful Helen was displayed as an archer on the garble of the
Aphaia temple of Aegina. Step by step his original appearance
was reconstructed and documented on an artificial marble casting.
This protocol of an approach alters our perceptions of antique
times.
