Fresco art has accompanied human civilization from its very first steps in the Neolithic caves of modern France. Today, about 35,000 years later, it is a home and point of reference for multiple art forms from painting to calligraphy. It was the first medium to explore the principles of composition, scale and color, and it has marked the growth and prosperity of every culture as a companion of architects and artists. Fresco has gained the position of an art form with exquisite decorative qualities, and up to this day it enlivens palaces, temples, churches and homes.
