OverviewThis volume is devoted to frescoes and other impressive wall and ceiling paintings from the Romanesque period to the 19th century. The fresco - a painting on fresh plaster - is a technique of wall painting used since antiquity. Frescoes serve a wide variety of purposes. In church, they serve as a Bible in pictures and for the representation of the life of saints or the truths of faith; in town halls they depict the ideals of a city government; and in castles and palaces, they demonstrate the appreciation of art and the sovereign virtues of the sponsors.
