▪ A painting that is applied to the
surface of a wall or ceiling and
becomes a part of it.
▪ The phrase can refer to painting
on fired tiles, but it usually does
not relate to mosaic
embellishment unless it is part of
the painting's broader design.
▪ The architectural aspects of the
given space are harmoniously
merged into the picture, which is a
defining feature of mural painting. Michelangelo, Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, fresco, 1508-1512
(Vatican City, Rome)
▪ Although some wall paintings are
painted on big canvases and then
hung on the wall, this technique
has been in use since the late
1800s.
▪ Mural art is become increasingly popular in Malaysia because :
▪ 1) It serves as a nice backdrop for residents to take photos as well as a tourist
attraction.
▪ 2) It becomes an attraction that draws people in to enjoy the arts.
▪ The cave paintings in Borneo's Lubang Jeriji Saléh cave date back to the Upper
Paleolithic period (40,000-52,000 BP).
▪ Old Egyptian tombs have yielded a plethora of ancient murals (around 3150
BC).Murals were typically painted on dry plaster during the Middle Ages (secco).
▪ Fresco secco is seen in the large collection of Kerala mural paintings originating
from the 14th century.
▪ The technique of painting frescos on wet plaster was revived in Italy around 1300,
resulting in a major improvement in the quality of mural painting.
▪ The phrase became more well-known in modern times as a result of the Mexican
muralism art movement (Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros, and José Orozco).
▪ There are many different styles and techniques.
▪ The most well-known is arguably fresco, which involves mixing water-soluble
paints with a damp lime wash and applying the mixture quickly on a big surface.
▪ As the colours dry, they get lighter.
▪ For millennia, people have used the marouflage technique.
▪ Murals are now painted with oil or water-based media in a number of techniques.
▪ A technique in which a painting or photographic picture is copied to poster paper
or canvas and then glued to a wall surface to give the illusion of a hand-painted
mural or realistic scenario has made the beauty of a wall mural much more broadly
available.
▪ Murals are the only three-dimensional paintings because they alter and participate in
the location they are placed in.
▪ The reverence for organic architectural form was evident in Byzantine mosaic
decoration.
▪ The great Renaissance artists, on the other hand, strove to create an illusionistic sense of
space, while the masters of the following Baroque period achieved such extreme effects
as to appear to dissolve the walls or ceilings nearly altogether.
▪ The importance of mural painting to the general population is the second feature.
▪ The mural artist must conceive pictorially a social, religious, or patriotic theme on the
appropriate scale in reference both to the structural exigencies of the wall and to the
idea expressed.
▪ Many techniques have been used: encaustic painting, tempera painting, fresco painting,
ceramics, oil paint on canvas, and, more recently, liquid silicate and fired porcelain
enamel.
