Record Type: concept
buon fresco (fresco painting (technique), <painting techniques by application method or circumstances>, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Mural painting technique in which pigments are ground in water and mixed with lime upon freshly laid plaster. As the pigmented lime dries, the calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form a pigmented calcium carbonate layer. Such paintings have survived from the Minoan period (1700 BCE) and Pompeii (79 CE). The technique was widely used from the 13th century in Italy for interior wall decorations, particularly in churches. Noted from ancient times as the preferred method of mural painting, superior to techniques that apply pigment to dry plaster, fresco secco, or partially dry plaster, mezzo fresco.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Techniek voor muurschilderingen waarbij pigmenten in water worden gemalen en met kalk gemengd op nog nat pleisterwerk worden aangebracht. Wanneer de kalk met de pigmenten opdroogt, reageert het calciumhydroxide met kooldioxide waardoor een gepigmenteerde laag calciumcarbonaat ontstaat. Dergelijke schilderijen zijn bewaard gebleven vanaf de Minoïsche periode (1700 v.Chr.) en het verwoeste Pompeï (79 n.Chr.). De techniek werd vanaf de 13e eeuw op grote schaal in Italië gebruikt om binnenmuren te versieren, vooral in kerken. Vanaf de oudheid is dit de voorkeursmethode voor muurschilderingen. De techniek wordt beter geacht dan technieken waarbij pigment op droog pleisterwerk wordt aangebracht (fresco secco), of op gedeeltelijk droog pleisterwerk (mezzo fresco).
