Anton Čebej
Anton Cebej, or Zebey (23 May 1722, Ajdovščina – after 1774) was a Slovenian painter, in the Baroque style. Biography Very little is known about his life. The information that is available is derived entirely from a history of his works, the first of which appeared in 1750, and the last in 1774. He lived in Ljubljana for the bulk of his career, but he was apparently not part of the artistic community there. His paintings show an obvious Venetian influence, but certain stylistic elements suggest that he had contact with and may have taken lessons from Giulio Quaglio and Valentin Metzinger, the latter of whom was particularly influential. After Metzinger's death in 1759, Cebej also took on some of his clients. In the 1760s, he reached what is generally considered to be his artistic peak. By the 1770s, his paintings had become simpler, with fewer figures and less dramatic feeling. His frescoes underwent a similar change. He was the only artist there at the time who was pr ...

Fresco
Fresco ( or frescoes) is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid ("wet") lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word ''fresco'' () is derived from the Italian adjective ''fresco'' meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. The word ''fresco'' is commonly and inaccurately used in English to refer to any wall painting regardless of the plaster technology or binding medium. This, in part, contributes to a misconception that the most geographically and temporally common wall painting technology was the painting into wet lime plaster. Even in apparently '' buon fresco'' technology ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
