The Louvre boasts a valuable collection of painted marble and limestone from the Hellenistic period. Hailing from Alexandria, Cyrene, Thessaly and Macedonia, these works demonstrate surprising unity of style. Through these works – some of which are magnificently restored – we learn about the rules of composition, as well as pigments and color techniques. A catalogue-book featuring scholarly commentary on this moving collection.
