Pompeian Style

Pompeian Style refers to the vibrant wall painting technique that originated from the ancient city of Pompeii, preserved by volcanic ash. It features realistic, detailed murals depicting mythological scenes, everyday life, and nature, with a focus on bright colors and intricate borders. Artists used a method called fresco, applying pigment onto wet plaster to create durable and vivid images. This style showcases a blend of naturalism and decorative patterns, emphasizing storytelling and visual richness. It has influenced later decorative arts, highlighting craftsmanship and the appreciation of classical themes in interior design.
