FWIW, current research shows that the majority of ancient cultures' stone sculptures etc. (now world-famous in their bare, unadorned state) had originally been fully-painted! Not only that, but oftentimes in such vibrant, proud colors that they're hardly recognizable without a double-take.
With that in mind, the After pic here isn't far off the Greco-Roman tradition and the Before would've had the painter flogged for fraud. 🥲
Apropos of nothing: the oldest Yo Mama joke on record is a small piece of graffiti on a Pompeiian ruin's wall. (a stone outhouse/latrine, even, IIRC?)
{ Oh, and lastly? Thafuq does anyone expect when they put Phelps abs on God's Gift to Man ^heyyy and make his mom a HMILF? I mean, c'mon. He spent all his time with 12 dudes and an ex-whore, and he "hates" gays? Hunh.
Speaking of the huge altar crucifixion statues that dare you to look away:
How'd you say he died again?
Who, Jesus? Everyone knows that: he was hung on a cross.
I can see that, yes. The sculptor must be very proud. }
