Q. Consider the following statements regarding mural and fresco paintings:

1. Mural painting is executed upon freshly laid wet lime plaster, whereas frescoes are done on already dried walls of solid structures.
2. Mural paintings do not include paintings on ceilings, but frescoes primarily involve paintings on ceilings of solid structures.

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: Statement 1 is incorrect because fresco painting is actually executed on freshly laid wet lime plaster, not murals. Statement 2 is also incorrect; both murals and frescoes can be on walls or ceilings, and frescoes are not limited to ceilings. Thus, neither of the statements accurately reflects the differences between mural and fresco paintings.
