Скачать или смотреть London Stone Conservation : Polychromy on Alabaster carving Nottingham city museums

The final finishing touches! Polychromy, or the art of painting sculptures, once added vibrant colours to medieval alabaster panels like this.
Bright colours on sculptures like The Adoration of the Kings conveyed religious scenes in a vivid, unforgettable way, turning altarpieces into immersive experiences. Our team worked to faithfully replicate the original hues that would have illuminated these carvings by hand, enriching their storytelling power.

Head over to the in the Early Nottingham Crafts gallery in the Nottingham museum to see various development stages from a block of alabaster into a beautiful sculpture.
