What is polychromy?
Polychromy is the technique of applying multiple colours to wooden sculptures, which was common in the Middle Ages. Artists would paint sculptures, often religious figures, with bright colours to make them more lifelike and visually striking. The use of this technique helped to convey emotions and make the figures more relatable to viewers, as many people at the time could not read and relied on visual images to understand religious stories.
