Pedro da Costa Felgueiras has been commissioned to restore history’s most famous lost colors — those that originally adorned the marble statuary of ancient Greece. In his East London studio, he spends his time stirring up ancient hues that are now too costly (or dangerous) to make. “Historians now know they were all painted in color, but on the 3-D printed replicas, the hues are very garish,” he told @tmagazine. “I dream of recreating them as they once were, thousands of years ago. Can you imagine the intensity, the truth?” In the past, creating paint was a dangerous business. While some colors came from harmless organic sources — curdled milk, charcoal, mild mineral ores — others were toxic or unstable. Much of Pedro’s time is spent tracking down the arcane ingredients to recreate these historical hues. There’s ivory black, made from charred antique elephant tusks; cochineal, a lush scarlet pigment derived from crushed South American beetles, and vermilion red made from mercury, which is both poisonous and relatively volatile.
