frescoed
Painted on plaster
Frescoed describes something decorated with frescoes—paintings applied to wet plaster so the pigment bonds with the wall as it dries.
The technique is associated with Italian Renaissance art: frescoed ceilings, frescoed chapels.
A frescoed surface suggests grandeur, antiquity, or artistic heritage: The frescoed walls of the ancient villa had survived centuries.
