    " Faux painting was widely used in Pompeii, but it really took off in Europe during the Renaissance with two schools of faux painting developing. The Italian school was loose and artistic, the French school was formal and realistic. It typically took an apprentice ten years or more to fully master the art.

    The sophistication of the techniques are such that visitors are frequently unable to distinguish between false and real in many churches, palaces and public buildings in Europe. The techniques were perfected by the 17th century and have been used in all styles of construction well into the 20th century, including Baroque, palladian, neoclassical and historical revival styles as well as Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings.

    Craftsmen who are able to replicate this work are still available, as evidenced, for example, by the extensive restorations of faux surfaces in important Eastern Europe buildings since 1990.
