What is "fresco"?
Fresco is a painting technique where artists apply pigments mixed with water onto wet plaster. As the plaster dries, the paint becomes part of the wall or ceiling surface, creating a long-lasting image. This method is often used for large paintings or artworks on buildings. Frescoes can be colorful and detailed, and because the paint is absorbed into the plaster, they tend to be very durable.
Example
The cathedral 's walls were adorned with magnificent frescoes depicting scenes from biblical stories, their vibrant colors still vivid after centuries.
