FRESCO (Ital. for cool, " fresh ")

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 209 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRESCO (Ital. for cool, " fresh ") , a
term
  introduced into
English
 , both generally (as in such phrases as al
fresco
 , " in the fresh air "), and more especially as a technical
term
  for a sort of mural
painting
  on
plaster
 . In the latter sense the Italians distinguished
painting
  a secco (when the
plaster
  had been allowed to dry) from a
fresco
  (when it was newly laid and still wet). The nature and
history
  of fresco-painting is dealt with in the
article
  PAINTING.
