When we think of statues and buildings of the classical period, we
tend to imagine white marble; scientists in recent years have
discovered that it is in fact most likely that many of the buildings
and statues were painted and probably adorned with jewelry. The
Vatican Museum has recently put on an exhibition of some of the most
famous antiquities from the era with reproductions painted as close to
the originals as they can - this is possible because many statues
contain trace amounts of pigment from their original coats of paint.
This is a list of ten spectacular reproduction statues from the
Classical Period.
