Painting
The use of colors has been rejected, often because of the many changes experienced by the pigment over time. Weather, the fragility of the layers, or perishability of the organic pigments are the main reasons. Other damage can occur due to manipulation, conservation treatment, and renovation works. Cleaning, coating applications, protective layers, including colored touches have been the cause of the occurrence of false dyes, or degradation of objects. These manipulations, as evidence of artificial components paintings works modern push scientists to carefully and thoroughly examine all the discovery of traces colored sculptures and objects aquemenidas.
Evidence of multiple colors in many works on most of the palaces and buildings persepolitanos attest to the richness and ubiquity of polychrome paintings in Persepolis. It is not just resting on trace evidence pigmentary persistent objects, but of evidence, such as agglomerates forming clumps of paint in colors that have been found in mass containers in multiple locations on the site.
These colors were used not only in the architectural elements (walls, reliefs, columns, doors, floors, stairs, statues), but also in tissues and other decorations. Glazed bricks, limestone flooring with red ocher-colored or gray-green gypsum flooring, painted columns and draperies adorned so many colors of interiors and exteriors of buildings. Few traces of red have been found in the statue of Dario preserved at the National Museum of Teheran. ,
The wide palette of colors found gives an idea of the wealth polychrome: black (asphalt), red (red opaque glass, vermilion, ocher red hematite), green, Egyptian blue, white, yellow (or golden ocher). The use of plant pigments is raised, but has not been demonstrated.
You can, however, be difficult to accurately reconstruct the true color in one place, several reliefs or restored palaces used parts or fragments from various places. El examen de las diferencias entre ciertos relieves y sus dibujos anteriores por Flandin, ha permitido, por ejemplo, poner en evidencia los errores de restauraciones de una esfinge. Persepolis era conocida como una de las ciudades mas ricas en pinura.
