What are both Fresco and Halma?
board game
Halma
Halma (from the Greek word ἅλμα meaning "jump") is a strategy board game invented in 1883 or 1884 by George Howard Monks, a US thoracic surgeon at Harvard Medical School.
 His inspiration was the English game "Hoppity" which was devised in 1854.
Fresco (board game)
Fresco is a 2010 designer board game by Marco Ruskowski and Marcel Süßelbeck.
 It was nominated for the 2010 Spiel des Jahres award and won the 2010 Deutscher Spiele Preis.
 Each player in Fresco takes the role of master painter attempting to restore the fresco on a cathedral ceiling, earning points for each section they repair.
 Players must manage a team of apprentices who will buy or mix the required paints, paint portraits to earn money, and keep the bishop happy.
 Overworked apprentices may leave the painter's service, reducing the actions the player can take.
 A player can improve morale, and even gain extra actions, by letting his workers sleep late.
 However, this can allow earlier players to block his ability to buy necessary paints or to restore a section of the fresco before he can get to it.
Giornata
Giornata is an art term, originating from an Italian word which means "a day's work."
 The term is used in Buon fresco mural painting and describes how much painting can be done in a single day of painting.
 Knowing how much can be painted in a day is crucial in the Buon fresco technique, because in this technique a watercolor paint, without binder, is applied to wet lime plaster which binds the paint into the surface of the plaster when it dries, making for an extremely durable painting.
 An experienced fresco painter knows how much surface can be painted in a day, and wet plaster is applied to the wall in the right amount needed for each day's work.
 That amount is the "giornata".
 Generally the plaster is applied in a way that will conform to the outline of a figure, or object, in a painting, so that the daily segments will not show, but it is occasionally visible as different sections in a work where the artist may not have been able to replicate a pigment exactly the next day, or where restoration has altered or made apparent the changes in pigment between the sections. Ann Rice O'Hanlon
Ann Louise Rice O'Hanlon (June 21, 1908 – 1998) was a 20th-century American visual artist who painted murals.
 O'Hanlon is best known for a fresco painted on the wall of Memorial Hall at the University of Kentucky in 1934 for the Treasury Relief Art Project.
 The fresco depicts the history of central Kentucky from the time of settlement through the 19th Century.
 The fresco has repeatedly attracted negative attention for its romanticized depiction of African American slaves.
 In November 2015 the President of the University of Kentucky, Eli Capilouto, had the wall shrouded until the university community comes to a permanent decision about how to deal with the fresco. Brnjača
Brnjača (; 1253– 1264) was a Serbian princess, the daughter of King Stefan Uroš I (r. 1243–76) and Queen Helen of Anjou.
 Her brothers were Stefan Dragutin (r. 1276–82) and Stefan Milutin (r. 1282–1321).
 The oldest depiction of her, when she was ca. 12 years old is in the 1264 fresco of the burial of Queen Anna Dandolo (d. 1258) at the monastery of Sopoćani (the endowment of her father), shown with a low crown, and clothing closed up to the throat, similar to the male clothing, decorated with pearls on piping, although her appearance is anachronistic.
 She is depicted on a fresco in the narthex of Visoki Dečani dating to ca. 1345, alongside later Nemanjić members Simeon Uroš and Teodora-Evdokija.
 She is depicted in the Nemanjić family tree fresco of Visoki Dečani, which dates to ca. 1350 and is one of the most notable examples of the Nemanjić family trees.
 She was a nun, and did not marry.
 She was buried at the Gradac Monastery (the endowment of her mother), in a tomb below her mother's sarcophagus. Fresco Department

The Apotheosis of Washington is the fresco painted by Greek-Italian artist Constantino Brumidi in 1865 and visible through the oculus of the dome in the rotunda of the United States Capitol Building.
 The fresco is suspended 180 ft above the rotunda floor and covers an area of 4664 sqft .
 The figures painted are up to 15 ft tall and are visible from the floor below.
 The dome was completed in 1863, and Brumidi painted it over the course of 11 months at the end of the Civil War.
 He was paid $40,000 ($ in today's funds ) for the fresco. Fractio Panis
Fractio Panis (English: "Breaking of Bread") is the name given to a fresco in the Greek Chapel ("Capella Greca") in the Catacomb of Priscilla, situated on the Via Salaria Nova in Rome.
 The fresco depicts seven persons at a table, six men and a woman.
 Like the whole of the decorations of the chapel, the fresco dates from the first half of the 2nd century.
 The painting is found upon the face of the arch immediately over the altar tomb, upon which the sacrament of the Eucharist was performed. George Howard Monks
George Howard Monks (1853–1933) was born in Boston, Massachusetts.
 After graduation in Harvard medical school in 1880, he followed a 4-year internship in European medical centers during which he invented in 1883 the game Halma (ancient Greek for “jump”) derived from the British game Hoppity together with the mathematician Thomas Hill.
 Halma and the derived Chinese checkers knew great commercial success in the following years.
 He also invented a game called Basilinda.
 Monks began the practice of surgery in Boston in 1884 as he was appointed district physician of the Boston Dispensary and, later, visiting surgeon to the Carney Hospital.
 In 1890, he entered the Boston City Hospital and was promoted through various grades to surgeon-in-chief in 1910.
 From 1886 to 1926 Monks was connected with the Harvard Medical School (Department of Surgical Anatomy) but more importantly with Harvard Dental School where he was appointed Professor of Oral Surgery. Fresco
Fresco (plural frescos or frescoes) is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly-laid, or wet lime plaster.
 Water is used as the vehicle for the 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 (Italian: "affresco" ) 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.
