One of the places it can be found is Pompeii, Italy . If you can't travel that far to see it at the J. Paul Gettyantiquities museum in CA has wonderful pieces of Roman wall painting. Getty copied a Pompeii villa ( it really exists I saw it in Pompeii) and filled it with ancient Roman and Greek art. To visit the museum is free and you pay 5-8.00 in parking. If you want more info there is a museum web site. The Metropolitan museum, NYC, has some beautiful examples. As far as Pompeii goes the wall art there is well preserved bright and colorful. The figures can clearly be seen and considering that the town was buried in 79AD that is saying something. Some wall art can also be found in Rome, but it is associated with funeral art and the burials of ancient wealthy citizens. They are generally pictures of the person and show activities that they engaged in while alive. These are harder to get to see because some of the sites are not always open or are never open to the public. Also a bit can be seen in the Catacombs of Rome, but it isn't as great as in Pompeii or even the Getty.
