Parthenon Panel from Northern Frieze

3D Model

I was fortunate to have close access to this plaster cast of the original marble frieze which adorned the northern side of the parthenon. This model is computed from 500 photos shot in a well lit photo studio at the Legion of Honor. The panel was displayed for the Gods in Color exhibition. For the exhibition, I projection mapped a scientifically accurate reproducion of the original painted colors on the panel.

The original marble is somewhat infamously a part of the British Museum collection: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/G_1816-0610-46-b
