This book explores the historical significance and various methods of fresco, particularly focusing on the buon-fresco and spirit-fresco techniques. It serves as a practical guide for students and artists, drawing on the author's extensive experience in the field and the conditions influencing fresco durability, particularly in different climates. The opening of the treatise begins with a preface where the author establishes his goal to provide practical insights and commentary on fresco painting techniques derived from his experience. He reflects on common criticisms of fresco as a method of wall decoration, especially in the damp English climate, while asserting the value of the buen-fresco and spirit-fresco processes. The initial chapter discusses the intricate relationship between mural painting and architecture, highlighting how each form of art complements and enhances the others, thus laying the groundwork for the technical explanations that will follow throughout the book.
