Fresco Painting

Origins

Fresco painting is a technique that involves applying water-based pigments on wet plaster. It became famous during the Italian Renaissance, particularly in the 14th and 15th centuries. This technique was popularized by famous artists like Giotto, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Fresco painting is known for its vibrant colors and durability, as the pigments become chemically bonded with the plaster as it dries.
