Previous scientific research of the Roman tomb in the village of Brestovik, on the
Danube near Belgrade, was focused on its architectural structure. The painted decoration
is described in detail only in the work of Mihailo Valtrović, who recorded
what he saw during excavations at the end of the 19th century. Although there is an
assumption that all the rooms of the tomb were once painted, today the decoration
exists only in the room with graves, and in a very poor state of preservation.
Discussed in this paper is the treatment of space in the wall painting of the tomb,
with the use of imitations of architectural techniques and elements. Apart from the
imitation of the opus sectile technique on the walls of the tomb, as well as the coffered
ceiling painted on its vault, special attention will be devoted to the three-dimensional
presentation of the beams on the walls, since in the ancient painting in the territory
of today’s Serbia, it has been found only in the tomb in Bresto...vik.
