Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.Fresco is an Italian noun that refers to a technique of mural painting done on freshly laid wet plaster. The word "fresco" comes from the Italian word "affrescare", which means "to freshen up". This technique has been used for centuries in Italy and other parts of the world to create beautiful and long-lasting wall paintings.
In fresco painting, pigments are mixed with water and applied directly onto wet plaster. As the plaster dries, the pigments become embedded in the surface, creating vibrant and durable colors. This technique allows for precise details and smooth transitions between colors. Frescoes can be found in various settings, such as churches, palaces, and public buildings, and they often depict religious or historical scenes.
One of the most famous examples of fresco painting is Michelangelo's ceiling frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. These iconic artworks showcase the mastery of the fresco technique and have become symbols of Renaissance art. Today, fresco painting continues to be appreciated for its unique beauty and ability to withstand the test of time.
