Frescoes

Frescoes are a method of mural painting where artists apply water-based pigments directly onto freshly laid wet plaster. As the plaster dries, the colors become an integral part of the wall, ensuring durability. This technique was popular during the Renaissance, allowing artists to create vibrant scenes that convey narratives and emotions. Famous examples include Michelangelo's works in the Sistine Chapel. Frescoes can be found in various settings, from churches to palaces, showcasing both artistic skill and the cultural values of the time. They remain a significant form of artistic expression in history.
