What is Fresco Painting?

Continuing the AFTER RAPHAEL event, Professor David Mayernik from the Notre Dame School of Architecture has created a series of short videos to demonstrate the fundamentals of fresco painting and bring the ancient process to life. This series has been made available through The ThinkND Podcast and may be viewed at the following link: Rome: What is Fresco Painting? Materials and Process

Understanding how medium and message were intertwined in Raphael’s world opens up a window into the culture of the High Renaissance, where artistic craft and humanist thought went hand-in-hand.
