A fact from Eternal Silence (sculpture) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 October 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that according to folklore, people looking into the eyes of Eternal Silence(pictured) will see a vision of their own death?
Why does the oxidized bronze appear to be white paint?[edit]
in that photo of that Chicago statue, Eternal Silence, Why does the oxidized bronze appear to be white paint? Or is this just an artifact of the digital photo and my monitor screen? In person, does the bronze look like the more ordinary green oxide? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.207.203.133 (talk) 20:34, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It does indeed look green in person. I thought it looked a bit white in close crop myself, but if you click through the photo in the article to its highest resolution, it does look green. At least from my end. IvoShandor (talk) 02:53, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
