Giannis, just a note on 'colour of bronze' you mentioned earlier.......
Whilst modern bronze is more reddish in colour, ancient bronze was very pure and more 'brass-like' in colour..... you have only to look at the colour of the magnificent late Corinthian helmet you and your colleagues were discussing on another thread with respect to shape and back views...definitely a brass colour !
Congrats again, Johnny, on two more great illustrations - the composition and viewpoint is a refreshing change from the 'norm'.Been looking at your work since seeing your reconstruction of the Kazanluk tomb paintings......that was a few years ago now, though !
