Question

which indian art form is closest to this fresco painting?

Answer 1

Hi,

The cave painting in India or rock art is closest to fresco painting. This painting is normally the oldest in the history.

You should also note that the word fresco is normally Italian name for fresh.

It is also worth noting that fresco painting is mural painting and was done upon freshly laid, or wet lime plaster.

Answer 2

Fresco painting is a form of art done on wet plasters rather than dry plasters because dry plaster sinks usually compared in wet plasters.

Considering the Indian art forms Fresco paintings are closely associated with Mural paintings where natural pigments are painted directly on the fresh wet lime plaster.

The example of this type of panting is present in Ajanta, Ellora, Bagh Caves.
