One thing I learned a decade ago is that ancient Greek sculpture wasn't pure white marble (or bronze), but heavily painted with colors to appear more lifelike - it often included glass insets for eyes too. From the looks of it the few statues present in the buildings are painted, so he gets bonus points for that!
