Fresco Painting, written by James Ward and first published in 1909, is a technical treatise on the art and techniques of fresco painting. It focuses on the buon-fresco and spirit-fresco methods, providing practical insights for students and artists. Ward discusses the historical significance of fresco, its relationship with architecture, and addresses common criticisms of the technique, particularly in damp climates. This work serves as both a guide and a reflection on the durability and application of fresco painting.
