Thanks Terry,Many statues were also dressed in fabric and armour and paraded in great ceremony, especially those regarded as theophanies of the gods. Medieval churches and cathedrals too were often brightly coloured until the Protestant reformation.  Amazon archer

Objection.
The creators of this computational simulation have "painted" the sculpture, like a painter would dutifully cover a wall with paint.
Could they restore, let's say the Gioconda by the same process, if only traces of paint and the sketch on the canvas were left?
They righteously could not expect to achieve that.
Just compare the computational rendering of the sculptures with their photographs.
If there could be a comparison at all, because the first have the epidermal rendering and expression of plastic shop
window mannequins.
The damage to the understanding of Ancient Greek art is the lesser damage done here.
The idea that a 3D scan of an art work is a true, or acceptable representation thereof, is a widespread,
hazardous belief.
It damages the understanding of the process of creating and comprehending works of art.
