Wall painting is a prime example of ancient Roman art. Artists used the fresco technique of painting on wet plaster. This procedure allowed their painted designs to become permanent on the wall. Natural pigments such as white, black, red, yellow, and blue were used. August Mau was a German scholar who developed four distinct styles by which wall paintings are classified.
