Notes on Ancient Roman Murals


• Pompeian painter with painted statue and framed
  painting Pompeii Our knowledge of Ancient Roman
  painting relies in large part on the preservation of
  artefacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum.

• Particularly the Pompeian mural painting, which was
  preserved after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE?

• Nothing remains of the Greek paintings imported to Rome
  during the 4th and 5th centuries, or of the painting on
  wood done in Italy during that period.

• In sum, the range of samples is confined to only about
  200 years out of the about 900 years of Roman history,
  and of provincial and decorative painting.

• Most of this wall painting was done using the dry
  method, but some fresco paintings also existed in Roman
  times.

• There is evidence from mosaics and a few inscriptions
  that some Roman paintings were adaptations or copies of
  earlier Greek works.

•    However, adding to the confusion is the fact that
    inscriptions may be recording the names of immigrant
    Greek artists from Roman times, not from Ancient Greek
    originals that were copied.
