frescos
Wet plaster art
Frescos is the plural of fresco, a technique of painting on freshly laid wet plaster so that pigments bond with the wall as it dries.
The Sistine Chapel ceiling is the most famous example.
By extension, any large mural may be called a fresco regardless of technique: The restaurant's walls were covered with frescos of Italian street scenes.
Also spelled frescoes.
