Wall Painting
This chapter concentrates on Roman painting in the early imperial period, and in particular as it can be traced on the walls of domestic dwellings in Pompeii. The chapter presents a sketch of the distinctive spatial mentalité informed by wall painting and the spatial framework to which it contributes: an exploration of the four styles, from the vantage point of how they engage their viewers and produce different layers of virtual space, generated in the in‐between of wall and room user. The First Style, also referred to as “Structural,” “Incrustation,” or “Masonry Style,” is applied across Italy and the eastern Mediterranean. The Second Style or the “Architectural” Style lasts from around 100 BCE into the last quarter of the first century BCE. The Third Style is characterized by the disappearance of the all‐encompassing illusionistic paintings. The Fourth Style is considered as a marker of the decline of Pompeian painting.
