I came across a traveling exhibition entitled "Gods in colour". I never heard about it before but it soon comes to San Francisco Art Museum.

All the images in the link are very beautiful. At the very bottom, there are a few images of the so called Alexander sarcophagus. The colourful interior of the shield is quite amazing.

I am glad that that exhibit is still circulating! Seeing things full size with your eyes is much better than seeing a low-resolution image on a screen.

Do go and see this exhibition if you can! It is absolutely mindblowing and makes you wonder why we ignored the fully colored Greek art for so many centuries!
