The Technique

This is not a simple reproduction. Three fundamental elements contributing to create the work unique:

• an important photographic research performed over the years by an experienced art photographer.
• an innovative technique that transforms the image into a true fresco.
• the opera is realized and retouched completely by hand in Italy.

a technique never seen before.

While we were working on the Fresco, we imagined how nice it would be to recreate it using the “Buon Fresco” technique while maintaining the fidelity of the original image. These are two seemingly conflicting situations but our proprietary technology, Pictography, made it possible. The Fresco has a thickness of 12 mm, which makes it immune to damage due to temperature or humidity. The colour is deposited a fresco in a fresh “fine lime” base, aged for three years and then retouched by hand by expert painters who trained in our workshop. This provides an exceptional product that is unique of its kind.

A few elements in combination.

The base of the fresco is only slaked lime and sand. It is reinforced with a special netting that allows transport and is free of glues or industrial chemicals.

The Colours. Inspired by nature. 100% natural.

The use of oxide-based colours, deposited “a fresco” in a fresh “fine lime” base and seasoned three years provides unthinkable realism and makes the Fresco seem like it was painted 500 or 2000 years ago.

It is a full-depth fresco.

The 12-mm-thick medium protects the colours from deterioration due to possible fluctuations in temperature or excessive ambient humidity.

Comparison with the original. This makes the difference.

Constant comparison of the Fresco with the original allows us to establish levels of quality that would otherwise be impossible.
