Since the 1980’s, research on the polychromy of sculpture and architecture in Classical Antiquity has experienced a break-through. Though still relatively small, the field is fully established as an interdisciplinary and international scholarly player producing results with an increasing impact on classical studies.
The lecture is historiographical, outlining the main phases of this positive development through the ‘lense’ of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The museum became involved from 2000 onwards and has since become a recognized contributor to recent research. The lecture aims to throw light on the connections existing between a specific research venture – the Tracking Colour Project at the Glyptotek – and other, international research initiatives.
