Summary
Art museums are full of sculpture from Ancient Greece, and while most of the sculptures are Roman copies of the original bronze statues, the paint on the original sculptures is long lost. Greek paintings are preserved on pottery, showcasing human figures and signed by individual artists, marking a shift from conventional art history.
