The "horns/rings" probably held something like a bell, rattle, gong, etc. There were numerous accounts of statues that made sounds from this time period.

The original looked so much better. I'm glad that you didn't modify the original, but the end result was not appealing. Perhaps the reproduction should've been attempted by more skilled types who are used to working with cast bronze. On another note for what reason do attribute this to the Greeks? It was found in Rome, not Greece and the identity of the boxer is totally unknown.

I admire the handcraft shown, but this feels like a "Jesus on Velvet" attempt at the original... The complete mastery of subtlety is what makes the original incomprehensibly complex and emotive. The original has you thinking it's going to jump up and fulfill every kids "Clash of the Titans" dream/nightmare, where this new creation, especially the face looks like it could have been found on the clearance rack at Dollar Tree in February when it was placed there after Halloween.

You're projecting the modern understanding of classicism onto classical art. We associate highlighting bright colors and certain details with cheapness mainly due to the invention of cheap artificial dyes. Those features required both high technical ability and expensive colors in antiquity. Look at clothing before the 19th century, the Hindu use of color in religious art and the painted reconstructions of ancient buildings.

Ancient sculptures - from Sumer, to Egypt, to Rome to China - whether marble or granite, clay or bronze, were painted very brightly, exactly the way they've done here. You just aren't aware of how Ancient art actually appeared. It was ALL painted in ways that most of us would find quite tacky, or garish, from our modern perspective. They got it right on. Educate yourself.

When Germans talk about classical sculptures I think immediately about 2 facts: The Nazi Loot in the past, and the acquisition of the Pireo and the Greek railways nowadays. Even if all European Countries paid for the Greek debt, Doitchland was the only country that could cash in.

Even though I have known for 50 years that Greek statues were originally painted, I still love the clean lines and white polished sheen of marble. The first video on painted statues I ever saw used wide areas of dull, flat paint which made the figures seem little better than store dummies. This video's colors seem more vibrant. I found the goddess starting at 2:40 to be strikingly beautiful, due to the beautiful patterns of color in her clothing in contrast with other still white areas. To date, l have only seen Archaic statues painted, with no such remodeling on Classical and Helenistic statues. Is this being done, too?

That noise that was supposed to be music got to be so tiresomely irritating l had to turn off the volume. It sounded like a blind bat had flown into a sheet metal factory and was banging against every piece of sheet metal in the building. The work done was hard, exacting work, but for the most part, l found the high relief sculptures more beautiful left shining white. The paint was flat and dull and seemed to blur the details of the carving. It made the sculpture look cheap like a manakin. I am not against painting sculpture. The amazingly beautiful effects of Spanish religious sculpture painting comes to mind. The subtlety of the building up of glazes makes the hands and faces seem truly vibrant, as if they were alive. That doesn't happen here. To be fair, it may have been that the sculptures REALLY HAD BEEN PAINTED WITH LARGE SECTIONS OF FLAT, DULL PAINT. If so, then these technicians did a tremendous job in recreating the original work.

I've seen you video on sculpture color, and it's one of the most retarded, condescending and childish approaches to history of art and its communication. If you find the amazing marble sculptures to be void and prefer the dumb looking painted sculptures, that is your problem. Don't try to re-write history and don't assume you're doing us a "favor" for bringing what you consider "happy" sculptures.

@@Appophust They would be accessible until the statue was assembled. If they were placed on the outside, the sculptor would be giving themselves even more work. They could even be a method of keeping the statue tight against itself as the joining solder cooled. But you could be right. Maybe these statues had adornment or features we can't even conceive of. I'm open to the idea that these statues could make sounds. There is still a great deal the ancients have to teach us about their work. Cheers!
