Actually, he painted them in flesh tone. Now, I'm not completely sure, but my understanding is that this is what the Romans did and that much of the ancient Roman statuary we see today was once painted.
Of course, to our acquired tastes, painting a statue turns a tasteful marble nude into a tawdry naked woman.
