Summary/Abstract: Murals are the art of wall painting which we can understand as mutual communication, communication with space and conveying messages to society. This study explores the beginnings of the mural, the different types of murals, and the value and significance of the mural in the development of this art form. The mural dates back to the time of the Paleolithic as a representative art, which continues to develop in Egypt, Rome, India, it is representative of the classical period in Europe, when it becomes typical for cathedrals, mosques, until the modern era when it is popularized in the urban space and becomes part of public famous buildings in many cities around the world. In that context, the hypothesis is developed that the understanding and recognition of the mural images of the past is of great importance and are an example and inspiration for the local arts to develop their idea and to perfect and develop the mural. From here, the mural grows into a different concept for creating a new visual image with a high aesthetic value.
