Lighting stone sculptures in galleries requires a delicate balance between showcasing their artistic details and preserving their material integrity. The angle of illumination is critical; side lighting can emphasize texture and depth, while overhead lighting may flatten features. Intensity should be moderate to avoid glare or excessive shadows, with adjustable spotlights offering flexibility. Color temperature plays a role too—warmer tones (2700K-3000K) enhance natural stone hues, while cooler lights (4000K+) may suit contemporary pieces. UV-filtered LEDs are ideal to prevent long-term damage. Finally, consider the sculpture’s placement and viewer interaction, ensuring light guides the eye without distracting from the artwork’s essence.
