Mural

A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface.

Some wall paintings are painted on large canvases, which are then attached to the wall. Whether these works can be accurately called "murals" is a subject of some controversy in the art world, but the technique has been in common use since the late 19th century.
