Of wall-decoration, in which the painter used architectural forms to open up illusions of space beyond the wall. Corner Of A Painted Bedroom In A Villa At Boscoreale, near Pompeii (mid first century B.C.), a classic example of the Second Style. Passages in Vitruvius suggest that painted stage-sets were a source of inspiration. (Boardman, 1986)
