What Did They Find?

After they could finally take a closer look at the details of the paintings, the researchers would soon discover something quite intriguing. There was a particular finding that left the researchers puzzled at first. It appears that out of six of these 15 paintings’ background layer had blue pigment. It was a detail that these researchers did not expect to discover. What the researcher revealed was something that the world had never heard of before. “The discovery changes our understanding of how this particular pigment was used by artists in the second century A.D.. I suspect we will start to find unusual uses of this colorant in a lot of different works of art, such as wall paintings and sculpture,” claims expert Walton.
