Descripción
Mural painting technique in which wall painting technique in which dry pigments are ground with water then brushed onto wet lime plaster. As the pigmented lime dries, the calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form a pigmented calcium carbonate layer. Fresco paintings have survived from the Minoan period (1700 BCE) and Pompeii (79 CE). Fresco paintings were widely used from the 13th century in Italy for interior wall decorations, particularly in churches.
