Fresco Update.

7/29/2015

 
Here is the link to the first post about fresco paintings. Recently I came across something that made me think of it.

One of the interesting and somewhat unique features of the frescoes in Vologda is the vibrant blue background that ties the surfaces together creating a undivided space. That blue background, although found in other places too - mostly pre 13th century with Greek influence, is very rare in later periods.

The other day I came arcoss frescoes from Turin painted by Giacomo Jaquirio in 1410-1415.

The photo hardly does the colours justice, here's a photo I found online of another piece by the same author.
