WHITE OR COLORED?

[Tarbicus]

b) the Porphyry problem, I cannot think that the porphyry could be painted, quite a crime! Very Happy Think at the tetrarchs painted... Shocked
Just marble, common stone and terracotta were painted? Even if it seems impossible to me, anyway, does anyone know evidences of
painted porphyry?

If only it never rained and the wind never blew, we might never have questioned painted sculpture by the 18th Century. BTW, isn't porphyry purple? :wink:

Thanks for the definitive, no question at all, painting from Pompeii.
