Donatello (c.1386-1466) - David (date disputed) front (colorized patina)
Another use I've discovered for Colourise SG: adding coloured patinas to black and white photos of bronze statues!
In the case of Donatello's David, because the black and white images were lightened for clarity the finish came out a lot brighter and redder than in the real thing, which is almost black. In fact, his face came out a bit too red, and needed to be dialled (no pun intended) back a bit. So please bear in mind that this isn't the real colour, but I think it looks good anyway.
