The tombs in the royal necropolis at Vergina, as well as those of Mieza, Pella and Hagios, contain works of exceptional quality, and their discovery drastically changed the history of ancient art. These funerary paintings can be used to gauge the mastery of trompe-l’oeil, chiaroscuro and foreshortening by the second half of the 4th century, and what principles were adopted to give the illusion of perspective.
