Of the once colourful decoration of antique Greek statues only few traces remain today. But these allow one to reconstruct part of the polychromy, based on visual and microscopic inspection and spot analysis with spectroscopic methods. For the first time we used mobile hyperspectral reflectance imaging in the visible and near infrared range and sca...

The colorful decoration of statues and buildings in antique times is commonly described by the term Antique Polychromy. It is well known among scholars but less so in the interested public and its exact form is subject of ongoing research. In this paper we discuss results obtained from the Frieze of the Siphnian Treasury from the Sanctuary of Delph...

Difficile d’imaginer une sculpture hellénistique ornée d’une éclatante polychromie ou couverte d’or… la lumière jouant sur le modelé de ce marbre peint ou doré… la mise en scène de cette œuvre dans l’espace architectural qui lui est dédié…Si les premières tentatives de restitutions graphiques de la polychromie des œuvres grecques apparaissent dès l...

In recent years, advances in the fields of photogrammetry and computer vision have produced several solutions for generating 3D reconstruction starting from simple images. Even if the potentialities of the image-based 3D reconstruction approach are nowadays very well-known in terms of reliability, accuracy and flexibility, there is still a lack of...

Nous vivons sur un malentendu multimillénaire : la blancheur supposée de la Grèce et de ses deux principales expressions artistiques, l’architecture et la sculpture. Le développement depuis une vingtaine d’années de moyens d’enquête nouveaux, empruntant à la médecine, à la physique nucléaire et à la chimie moléculaire ses méthodes et ses instrument...

The rediscovery of the gilding and the colours of Greek ancient sculpture Jean Marcadé was one of the first archaeologists to recognize, at the end of the 40’s, the key-role of colour in Greek sculpture, executed after the process of the modelling itself. His study of a set of Hellenistic polychrome statues, found in Delos during the excavations of...

Both an History of Archaeology and an analytic description of its different fields, objects, methods and aims (640 p.)

Around 500 BC, the Massalians went to Delphi to erect a Treasury in Athena's sanctuary. A Treasury is like a small temple. It is, however, both an offering and a place to shelter offerings. The construction of the Treasury by the Massilians was as much an act of devotion as a sign of Massalia's growing might as a trading city. Since the city of Mar...

Interdisciplinary Studies on Mediterranean Ancient Marble and Stones

The investigation we are conducting on the polychromy of the Hellenistic sculptures of Delos has enabled us to add to the corpus of gilded marble works and to refine the typology. A visual examination of the sculptures through a video-microscope, combined with an analysis of the remains isolated by this means under X-fluorescence, has revealed the...

Brigitte Bourgeois και Philippe Jockey Από χρυσό και μάρμαρο: τα επιχρυσωμένα ελληνιστικά γλυπτά της Δήλου σ. 331-349 Οι έρευνες που διεξάγουμε ως προς την πολυχρωμία των ελληνιστικών γλυπτών της Δήλου μας επέτρεψαν να εμπλουτίσουμε το κύριο corpus των επιχρυσωμένων μαρμάρινων γλυπτών με νέα στοιχεία, αλλά και να τα προσδιορίσουμε τυπολογικά. Η οπτ...

Master of the origins, actor of progress : a multi-faceted view of the archeologist. The figure of the archeologist as a key person of modem societies takes shape around a double définition : master of the origins and actor of progress. Since the 18th century down to our time, it has fallen to him to handle the official speech about the origins of...

Philippe Jockey, A propos de quelques fragments de statues feminines drapees retrouves au cours des fouilles de Delos p. 435-480 Les elements de statues feminines drapees presentes ici etaient demeures jusqu'a maintenant inedits, du fait, notamment, de leur pietre etat de conservation. La decouverte de raccords nouveaux, comme leur materialisation,...

Les deux cavaliers archaïques déliens dont il est question ici formaient à l'origine une paire, dans laquelle on se propose de reconnaître non seulement les Dioscures, mais aussi, peut-être, les Pisistratides eux-mêmes. Outre que les deux sculptures ont en effet été consacrées entre 540 et 520 avant J.-C, alors même que Pisitrate exerçait sa domina...
