View of wall painting in the second, or architectural style, in unidentified villa at Pompeii, Italy. "The Second Pompeian Style developed out of the First Style and incorporated elements of the First, such as faux marble blocks along the base of walls ... While the First Style embraced the flatness of the wall, the Second Style attempted to trick the viewer into believing that they were looking through a window by painting illusionistic images,"--Kahn Academy, Roman wall painting styles.
