WALLS THAT SPEAK
Speaking to Brick Walls
This blog post about frescoes, by Camilla Howalt, explores how walls carry stories, from ancient frescoes to Renaissance masterpieces. It provides an overview of the pigments, myths, and symbolic narratives that give walls their presence, highlighting Giotto, Cimabue, and Byzantine icons, and considers how walls continue to speak through mark-making and memory into the 20th century.
