Wall and Mural painting – a very old technique

Wall or Mural paintings have been known as cave paintings from the earliest history of human mankind. Next to sculpture they belong to the oldest testimonials of artistic decoration.

Over centuries wall paintings decorated palaces, living spaces, and spiritual places. Wall and ceiling painting peaked out in the Renaissance, when famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo led this art to flowering.

After the art nouveau wall painting lost its importance in modernity. However, for about 20 years, wall painting has been given a new boost. Many architects are using decorative paintings as creative design element by combining them in contrast with digital technologies.
