Frescoist

/ˈfrɛs.koʊ.ɪst/ noun

Definition

An artist who specializes in or practices the art of fresco painting.

Etymology

From fresco + -ist suffix (indicating a specialist or practitioner). This is a more formal or specialized term than frescoer.

Kelly Says

The -ist suffix marks this as a deliberate professional identity—calling someone a 'frescoist' elevates the skill to an art form and philosophical practice, much like calling someone a 'realist' or 'cubist' in painting.
