Theatricality and Theatricalism in Second Style Frescoes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 December 2022
This chapter described in detail the nature of Second Style Roman frescoes. It details the aesthetic and psychological impact such works must had exercised upon viewers. It provides examples, analysed in depth, of how often complex and subtle depictions of imaginary architecture were used to create a highly theatricalised ambience. It details the role of theatrical practice and example which may be identified in such painting and how the evidence for this can be seen reflected in both their design and meaning.
