I don't know about the painting even- the Odysseus paintings were fairly impressive, as well as some of the finer details I saw in the Villa at Oplontis.

Just a concession to win a bigger argument. Aesthetic pronouncements about pictorial representation are mostly matters of taste. But I think the Flemish masters, Chiarro-scurro, and the Sistine Chapel are technically superior to Roman frescos. IMHO.
