Question 2

What type of painting was Vasari referring to when he said it "is the most masterly and beautiful because it consists in doing in a single day that which,in other methods,may be retouched day after day,over the work already done"?

Accepted Answer

Giorgio Vasari was referring to fresco painting when he made the statement about the art form being "the most masterly and beautiful because it consists in doing in a single day that which, in other methods, may be retouched day after day, over the work already done." Fresco is a technique where pigments mixed with water are applied to wet plaster, and as the plaster sets, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. This method requires the artist to work quickly and decisively, as the plaster dries within a day, which is known as a giornata, the Italian term for "a day's work." This means that the artist cannot go back to make changes once the plaster has set, making it a challenging technique that requires careful planning and skillful execution. Vasari, an Italian painter, architect, and writer of the Renaissance period, greatly admired fresco for its durability and the vivid colors it produced.
