What is true about mummy portraits made in ancient Egypt?

Mummy portraits, also known as Fayum portraits, were painted in ancient Egypt during the Roman period, primarily between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE. These lifelike portraits were created using a technique called encaustic, where pigments were mixed with hot wax and applied to wooden panels, often placed over the faces of mummies. They served both as a means of preserving the deceased's likeness and as a way to honor their memory, reflecting the individual's identity and status. The portraits reveal a blend of Egyptian and Greco-Roman artistic influences, showcasing the cultural exchange of the time.

What is a good example of Roman Portrait painting?

You will not find a good example of Roman portrait painting. Roman portraiture was sculptural (busts). Roman paintings were not on canvass like today's paintings. They were frescoes; that is, murals where water-based paint was applied on freshly-laid, wet lime plaster which, with the setting of the plaster, becomes an integral part of the wall. However, frescoes were not used for portraits.
