 History of Tempera Page
Tempera was still retained, however, particularly for large wall decorations by such noteworthy artists as the Venetian Tiepolo (1696-1770), renowned for his fresco decorations, and the Spaniard Goya (1746-1828), who painted the frescoes of the cupola of S. Antonio de la Florida in Madrid.
Its distinctive characteristics have enabled tempera to survive the era of oil painting, a medium which in turn appears to be in competition with a newer medium, acrylics.
In recent years a few artists have returned to tempera painting as the medium for their works.
