The contribution focuses on a particular use of the ‘sinopia’ like it is testified by wall-paintings in the northern necropolis of Cyrene. In this analysis the word ‘sinopia’ indicates a preliminary drawing traced on the wall with a double finality. Actually the drawing is useful to definite the architectural project of the funerary chambers, that are rock-cut in the slopes of the Gebel Akdar. But it is also useful to definite the painting program, because it visualizes the distribution of the individual motifs composing the decoration. The different modes employed in tracing the synopia are also considered.

Abstract
The contribution focuses on a particular use of the ‘sinopia’ like it is testified by wall-paintings in the northern necropolis of Cyrene. In this analysis the word ‘sinopia’ indicates a preliminary drawing traced on the wall with a double finality. Actually the drawing is useful to definite the architectural project of the funerary chambers, that are rock-cut in the slopes of the Gebel Akdar. But it is also useful to definite the painting program, because it visualizes the distribution of the individual motifs composing the decoration. The different modes employed in tracing the synopia are also considered.File in questo prodotto:
