We covered the First and Second Styles of Roman wall painting, and you’ll remember that what they had in common is that they both tried to create an illusion of what they weren’t, in a sense.

But I could also call this lecture a lecture on Third and Fourth Style Roman wall painting, because we’re going to continue our conversation today about the four architectural styles of Roman wall painting. As you can see from today’s lecture title, we’re going to be talking about painting palaces and villas in the first century A.D.
