8th International Roundtable on Polychromy in Ancient Sculpture and Architecture; Paris, Centre de Récherche et de Restauration des Musées de France, 15th – 16th November, 2016

Abstract:
The temple of Artemis in Magnesia on the Maeander (Western Turkey) is a milestone of Hellenistic architecture. Already in Antiquity, its architect Hermogenes was famously praised for his innovative designs and intricate visual effects (Vitruvius 3.3.8-9). A new project in the Antikensammlung Berlin currently investigates three large marble fragments of the temple’s exterior façade for remains of coloring and other surface treatments. Musealized in Berlin immediately after their excavation in 1891-93, their original surfaces show minimal post-excavation loss. Using multiple methods of optical and physico-chemical analysis, it was possible to detect significant remains of surface coatings, which open up several points of debate: the differentiation between geo-archaeological deposits and ancient color accentuations; the reconstruction of original color schemes and painting techniques; and the role of spatial contexts and specific light conditions for architectural surface rendering. Not at last, this paper introduces the Magnesian temple of Artemis as a new reference point for research on ancient architectural polychromy.
