“I love how a pair of sunglasses is all it takes to turn someone looking distressed, anguished, tortured, or exhausted by Herculean tasks into someone who looks totally chillaxed.”

“Funny enough she’s wearing a shirt with “Nike” on it, the God of luck and victory.”

“From what I recall about the subject, statues weren’t actually like that (colorless and naked) back in Ancient Greece and Rome. They were painted and dressed (fragments of paint and residues of cloth were found, I think) and looked very much alive, which was the point. When they were found thousands of years later (around the Renaissance, when people decided to copy ancient art) the paint and clothes were gone, which gave this style.”

“In some ways, it’s closer to what some of those statues would have looked like back when they were made – statues made in ancient Greece were painted in a realistic fashion.

The paint wore away faster than the underlying rock – leaving us with the statues everyone recognizes – and medieval European sculptors imitated the unpainted forms.
