The compilation of the contributions to the "10th International Round Table on Polychromy in Ancient Architecture and Sculpture" (Berlin 2020) focuses on the phenomenology of colour in architectural and sculptural contexts. On the basis of case and overall studies from Greco-Roman antiquity to the Middle Ages, the effect of polychromy in spatial contexts is examined. In addition, it explores how colour enhances form and alters meanings, and explores artistic and technological practices. Overall, the volume argues for an interdisciplinary perspective on paint and surface treatment.
