I just cannot imagine the effect of painting a bronze statue and I'd love to learn of the effect on the viewer in reality compared to the pure, traditional version - thanks much! (Maybe this is to kids more attractive? Also the young face?)

My opinion, that in painting the statue, it made Mr. Lincoln seem more like he was a real person. It made him human, gave him personality, and not a big metal sculpture.
