Roman Painting Reveals Egyptian Blue Pigment Infused in Plaster

A wall painting from the Roman Age discovered in Northern Italy has revealed a surprising secret: its creators blended the Egyptian blue into the plaster itself, rather than simply painting on its surface. This process established a pale and smooth base for the marine scene then painted on it, and may have made the accomplishment of the decoration an easier task. The discovery exposes a Roman painting technique that had remained concealed within the wall for nearly 2,000 years.
The finding comes from roughly 50 fragments unearthed at the Roman villa of Torre di Pordenone in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. According to the original study published in Archaeometry, the fragments likely came together to form a painted fishpond populated by mullets, octopuses, scorpionfish and lobsters between the late first century and the first half of the second century AD. The scientific testing they conducted revealed that the scene’s blue base was built into its finishing plaster from the start.
