Description

Roman Painting by Roger Ling is a comprehensive survey of Roman wall paintings, bringing together recent research to provide a clear understanding of their chronology, inspiration, and meaning. The book explores various aspects of Roman painting, including the Four Pompeian Styles, their influence on European artists, and the technical processes involved in ancient wall-painting. The author delves into the world of mythological pictures, landscapes, still lifes, and scenes from everyday life, discussing the factors that dictated the choice of subjects and how they were represented. By examining the organisation of workshops and the painters themselves, Ling sheds new light on this often-overlooked aspect of Roman art. With 245 pages of in-depth analysis, Roman Painting offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art and the culture of ancient Rome.
