Around the 16th century, frescoes began to have a matte and grainy surface. It also ceased to be retouched with tempera. This is how they paint:

• Raphael,
• Michelangelo,
• Vasari,
• Tintorettoi others.

During the Baroque period, old quenched lime is used as the white and added to the other pigments.
Such a painting has an "impasto" character.
Over time, fresco is supplanted by the casein-lime technique on fresh plaster. This technique penetrates from Italy to Germany (Tyrol) and Spain. It lasts until the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
In the 19th century, due to the discovery of Pompeii frescoes, a return to fresco is noted, but painters encounter technological difficulties and frescoes from this period are not very durable.
They began to look for new methods.
