It refers to paintings that are painted using only light and dark tones of a single color, but does not include paintings on a gold background or drawings. The word originates from the Greek word kamai, meaning low relief. By extension, it came to mean a monochrome painting with a relief effect. The word cameo, a famous Italian ornament, also has the same etymology. The word camai became widespread after the rise of the cult of classicism, centered in France, in the early 18th century. As for the technique, a method of painting colonnades and gables in a trompe l'oeil style in murals can already be found in Vitruvius' Ten Books on Architecture, written in the early 1st century.

単色の明暗のみで描いた絵画をいうが,金地に描いたものや素描に類するものは除外する。語源は低い起伏を意味するギリシア語のkamaiである。転じてレリーフ効果をもつような単色画の意味になった。イタリア産の装身具として著名なカメオも同じ語源をもつ。カマイユの語が普及したのは,18世紀初頭にフランスを中心として古典崇拝の気運が起こって以来である。技法としてはすでに1世紀初めに書かれたウィトルウィウスの《建築十書》の中に,壁画の中で柱列や破風をだまし絵風に描く方法が見いだされる。
