illusionistic murals

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

Inspired partly by Hellenistic stage-painting and partly by actual architecture, both past and present, wall-painters soon after 100 B.C. broke away from the stucco work of the so-called First Style (the Italian version of the Hellenistic fashion of masonry-style wall-decoration) to evolve a purely pictorial style which dissolved the wall into an illusion of three-dimensional space. Invariably this space was defined by an environment of simulated architecture. (Boardman, 1986)
