This ancient painting  technique, known for its durability and vibrancy, dates back to antiquity.  The process involves applying pigments mixed with water onto freshly laid  plaster, allowing the colors to bond with the wall as it dries. This method  was widely used in murals and large-scale works, as it created a lasting  image that resisted the passage of time. Frescoes adorned the walls of public  buildings, religious sites, and private residences, offering insight into the  culture and values of the societies that created them. Mastering this  technique required great skill and precision, as the artist had to work  quickly before the plaster dried.
