Architectural frescoes

Architectural frescoes are wall or ceiling paintings integrated directly into the surfaces of buildings, often serving decorative or narrative purposes. Created by applying pigment onto wet plaster, the artwork becomes part of the structure itself, offering durability and permanence. This technique was prominent in ancient cultures like the Romans and Minoans and seen in historic sites such as tombs, temples, and palaces. Architectural frescoes enhance the aesthetic appeal of architectural spaces while often conveying stories, symbolism, or cultural values, providing both artistic expression and structural harmony within the built environment.
