- goto11 6y ago> as gaudily as possible. We don't actually know that. We know more or less what pigments were used but not how artistically it was applied. The gaudy reconstructions are made by scientists, nor artists. Not many paintings have survived from antiquity, but the ones we have does not strike me as gaudy.
