Discuss the differences between Minoan frescoes and Egyptian frescoes. Answer: The ideal response would include the following:
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1/. Minoan frescoes were painted not in tombs, like Egyptian frescoes, but on the walls of homes and palaces.
2., Rather than applying pigment to a dry wall in the fresco secco technique of the Egyptians, Minoan artists employed a buon fresco technique similar to that used by Renaissance artists nearly 3,000 years later, in which pigment is mixed with water and then applied to a wall that has been coated with wet lime plaster. As the wall dries, the painting literally becomes part of it.
3. Buon fresco is far more durable than fresco secco, which makes the technique better suited to its use in structures exposed to light and air and in climates more humid than Egypt’s.
