The technique is called "maroflage", and one of the someones was John Sargent, whose murals adorn the Boston Museum of Fine Art and Public Library.
As Mary notes, there are a number of advantages to approaching a mural project this way . . . however, adhering the painting to the wall presents a number of challenges. Be sure you know the wall, your painting substrate and the adhesives you intend to use very well, through extensive proven testing before mounting such a project.
