Τι είναι η «Νωπογραφία»?
ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΤΕΧΝΗ ΤΗΣ ΝΩΠΟΓΡΑΦΙΑΣ
“Of all kinds of painting, that of fresco painting is the most masterly, dexterous, and expeditious, completing in one day, what, in any other style, would occupy a long time in painting, and which may be retouched. But fresco painting requires great dexterity and boldness, and the mistakes and faults are irremediable, unless the work be cut out.
It is the most manly and lasting kind of painting, therefore, those who practice it ought to be more respected and esteemed than other painters, being considered great masters.”
