Frescoes are a form of mural painting where water-based pigments are applied to freshly laid wet plaster. As the plaster dries, the colors become an integral part of the wall surface, resulting in vibrant and durable artwork. This technique was widely used in ancient times, especially in Roman and Renaissance art, to decorate churches, palaces, and public buildings. Notable examples include Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling and the frescoes of Pompeii.
