Painting on Architectural Surfaces Video (DVD)

The program Painting on Architectural Surfaces explores how sculptures from the Renaissance era in four different locations were once painted. These figures were not always the plain surfaces that determine our view of the ancient world you see today. In fact, they were once rife with dense, brilliant colors and ornamental motifs that were for both ritual decoration and aesthetic appeal. Among the locations explored are the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, the Salle des Saisons at the Louvre and the Residenz palace in Wurzburg. After watching this program, your mind will be lost in daydreams of the brilliantly-colored ancient world for weeks to come.
