15 Cool Sculptures That Were Created by True Masters

When hearing the word “sculpture,” many of us tend to imagine figurines made of white marble. But this is not actually correct, because antique statues were actually colorful. Scientists managed to reveal this surprising fact thanks to something called “raking light” technology. It helps them look at art objects with UV light and see the tiniest pigments of paint in order to understand what a certain sculpture used to look like before. Turns out, the works of the old masters were as diverse as they are today.

We at Bright Side like to find cool new sculptures and today’s compilation is all about them.
