Church Frescoes
Church frescoes are large paintings created on the walls or ceilings of churches, typically using water-based pigments on freshly applied plaster. This technique allows the colors to bond with the wall as it dries, making the artwork durable and vibrant. Frescoes often depict religious themes, stories from the Bible, or scenes of saints, serving both decorative and educational purposes for worshippers.
These artworks date back to ancient times and were especially popular during the Renaissance period. Famous artists like Michelangelo and Giotto contributed significantly to the tradition, creating masterpieces that continue to attract visitors and inspire admiration for their beauty and craftsmanship.
