The Roman fresco tradition involves a mural painting technique where water-based pigments are applied onto freshly laid wet plaster, allowing the colors to become an integral part of the wall surface as it dries. This method was widely used in ancient Roman architecture, particularly in villas and public buildings, to create vibrant and intricate scenes that often depicted mythology, landscapes, and daily life. Notable examples include the frescoes found in Pompeii and Herculaneum, which showcase the skill and artistry of Roman painters. The tradition reflects both aesthetic values and cultural narratives of the time.
