I've seen as much form in Roman art, showing shading and relief, as I have in anything by Giotto.
Ok, fair enough, however any nuances in metallic objects are shown using a tint of the same basic colour. Light yellow and yellow for example. I haven't seen every painting and fresco, so I can't say for certain. I can only comment on what I've seen so far. Do you have pictures that show metalic items made up of multiple, different colours?
