Abstract

Based on the emergence of primary color sculptures and the misunderstandings of ancient Greek sculptures, the Western Renaissance has formed a classical sculpture interest aesthetic in formal beauty and texture beauty. Archaeological studies confirmed that ancient Greek sculptures were once painted with colors, but only because of history and nature the color of the sculpture surface disappeared. Recalling the social, cultural and natural geographical backgrounds of the ancient Greek period, based on the creative purposes and material analysis of various types of ancient Greek sculptures, we will re-recognize the ancient Greek sculptures from the perspective of color and make a brief classification of the language features and manifestations of their colors to grasp the aesthetic appeal of ancient Greek sculpture macroscopically.
