Excerpt from Fresco Painting Its Art and Technique: With Special Reference to the Buono and Spirit Fresco Methods I Have endeavoured in this treatise to place before students some practical hints in the methods and processes of fresco painting, which are the outcome of my experience in the practice of the "boun-fresco" and the "spirit-fresco" systems of wall decoration. As to the stereochrome, or German "water-glass," and its later variety, the Keims process of fresco painting, I do not pretend to have a definite knowledge, having no practical experience in painting in these methods, but, on seeing the condition of some frescos in England which have been executed in stereochromy, I should prefer to trust to the buon-fresco or to the spirit-fresco mediums when it is a question of the permanency of wall paintings.

James Ward was born on November 17th 1851 at Gavin’s Buildings, Shankill Road, Belfast. He was the son of James Ward a house painter and decorative artist.
Ward studied at the Belfast Government School of Art, and in 1872 he was awarded a scholarship to the National Art Training School, South Kensington, London.
Ward was an important figure in the Irish and British art scene in the late 19th and early 20th century. He is best known in Ireland for his striking murals in Dublin City Hall depicting scenes from Dublin’s history. Besides being the author of influential textbooks, Ward was an innovative teacher who taught and inspired a generation of Irish artists.
While there, he worked with Sir Edward Poynter who recommended him as an assistant to Sir Frederic Leighton.
He assisted Leighton on the two vast murals Peace and War at the Museum of Ornamental Art in London (subsequently South Kensington Museum and now the Victoria and Albert Museum). He was Leighton"s sole assistant until 1887, and wrote an account of the two frescoes for the Magazine of Artist
He subsequently worked in art education, and was appointed head of Macclesfield School of Art in 1888. In 1907 he returned to Ireland (residing at 88 Marlborough Road, Dublin) as headmaster of the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art (now National College of Art and Design).
His innovations there included introducing new classes of painting in spirit fresco and wood carving.
He held that post until he retired in 1918. Ward is best known in Ireland for the mural paintings in the rotunda of Dublin’s City Hall, undertaken on behalf of Dublin Corporation. The twelve frescoes consist of eight scenes from the early history of Dublin, and four heraldic panels representing the four provinces of Ireland.
They were commenced in 1914 and completed in 1918.
Ward was assisted by some of his students in the work, including Harry Clarke and Seán Keating. He died there on 18 May 1924.
