I wonder whether Renaissance statues were unpainted also due to influence from the "white" Greek statues.

- TomK32 9y agoRenaissance artists had plenty of chances to use colour in buildings and on canvas, maybe they wanted some contrast to that?
- labster 9y agoYes, definitely, both during the Renaissance and the Neoclassical eras. Works that would have been considered unfinished in the Classical era were appreciated in later periods for representing pure figures without the need for ostentation. Well, that and the Classical sculpture was pretty darned good.
