encaustic on wood panel
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.
There are no examples of Roman portrait painting. The Romans did not do paintings of canvas. Roman portraiture was sculptural; that is, busts. Roman paintings were frescoes. These were mural paintings executed on freshly-laid, wet lime plaster. They had all sorts of busy scenes and were not used for portraits.
The Romans did not do portrait paintings. The made wall painting (frescoes) depicting all sort of scenes: nature scenes, scenes of myths, battles, groups of women, animals, etc. The only portraiture was sculptural (busts). The purpose of Roman portraits was the same as the one found in all societies throughout history, including today (expect that now it is done mostly through photography). It projected the images of important people who commissioned them and preserved them for posterity.. They were politicians and statesmen, politicians, aristocrats or intellectuals.
