A. Wall Painting 1. Domestic and Public Wall Painting - Beginning in about 200 B.C. wall painting in private and public buildings is characterized by imitation of stucco or marble design. Triumphal painting in temples and public buildings illustrate military campaigns and conquered lands. Tomb Paintings - Early tomb paintings are primarily found in Etruria and Southern Italy. These paintings were directly influenced by Greek painters, but illustrate local style.
Scenes often illustrate funerary celebrations, rites, symbols, and daily events.
Roman funerary painting is also inspired by Greek painting, but also develops from domestic and public types of wall painting.
