Saint Bartholomew Church, Gyöngyös, Hungary
Saint Bartholomew Church () is in the center of Gyöngyös (northern Hungary) and was built in the 14th century.

One of the curiosities the church has is the bronze font made around the 16th century.

The town was granted the rights of an agricultural town by Charles I of Hungary in 1334 upon the request of the settlement's landlord, Széchenyi Tamás. As the town were growing bigger and bigger, the church had to be enl ...

Fresco In Saint Bartholomew Church
Fresco ( or frescoes) is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid ("wet") lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word ''fresco'' () is derived from the Italian adjective ''fresco'' meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. The word ''fresco'' is commonly and inaccurately used in English to refer to any wall painting regardless of the plaster technology or binding medium. This, in part, contributes to a misconception that the most geographically and temporally common wall painting technology was the painting into wet lime plaster. Even in apparently ''buon fresco'' technology, t ...
