Do you mean “matte” as in the mount around a print, or a hand painted cinematographically “matte”.  Then there is the ‘matte box’…

A whole range of possibilities here !

One I hadn't thought of !  I remember seeing mattes painted on glass in front of the camera when I worked for BBC TV Film Department (now sadly defunct), and they were astonishingly convincing.

I guess I would go for a website to do with painting where you might find someone who used to do this ?  Of course, now, its all done with CGI but you would still need a ‘painter’ to create the artwork.  If you look at the credits on anything recently animated there are reams of people creating backgrounds and what might loosely be described as ‘scenes’ !

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
