Frescoes

When you are caught on the horns of a dilemma, think of the frescoes of Knossos.

The frescoes of the cathedral are very interesting.

Frescoes decorate the walls of this Tuscan palazzo.

Around the church are fences, shops, synagogues -- uncomplicated and eternal buildings, as in the frescoes of Giotto.

The walls of the temple are richly decorated with frescoes.

From Florence, in March of this same year, our master made his way to Perugia, where he drew the balance of his pay for the Sistine frescoes; and then, prudently avoiding Orvieto, went on south to Rome, where we have seen that Pinturicchio had now established himself, together with the Florentine Filippino Lippi, and had found many commissions.

He became a U.S. citizen in 1857. He signed one of his frescoes "C. Brumidi, Artist-Citizen of the U.S."

Members of the U.S. Congress recently commemorated the 200th birthday of the Italian-born artist who decorated the Capitol building with frescoes depicting key events in American history.
