Gustave Courtois (1852-1923) - Apollino (1904) (colorized)

Original black and white version here.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike the "colour recombination" method I've employed in the past, this online colorization is done from scratch, without reference to an actual colour source. Therefore the colours you're seeing here are purely speculative.

 

Of course, the software was designed for colorizing photographs, so it can be slightly thrown when confronted with paintings. In this case it's made a fairly good shout at flesh tones and vegetation, with a hint at blue sky through the branches. However, note Apollo's green leg!

 

I'm pretty sure the original colours would have been more varied, but as always beggars can't be choosers.
