Compositions rendered on white intonaco

Abstract

All the visual entities that will be analyzed further on in this work have one common characteristic – they are all rendered on a white intonaco background1 (fig. 54), unlike the wall painting from the “Room of Muses“ which was rendered on red intonaco background. The predominant colors are mostly bright, and the white intonaco background is visible. Apart from the results obtained in the course of the project “Processing of the fragments of Roman wall painting from the archaeological site of Sirmium“ in 2010, this paper will also present the new insights into the already published wall paintings.
