the subjects of a fresco
But when we pulled upward with the twilight toward one of twenty towering hill towns, stacking themselves around us like the subjects of a fresco, I found
myself wide awake.
Please someone tell me what's this sentence means " the subjects of a fresco" It means the hill towns stacking themselves like they are in the part of a fresco?
Or the hill towns stacking themselves like they are one topic of a fresco?
Thanks so much.

In Mediaeval Italian wall paintings, when perspective was not well-understood, pictures in which there were buildings tended to look as if the buildings were close together, one behind another - almost as if they were stacked on each other.
