[[Gianbattista Tiepolo]] was arguably the last major exponent of this tradition, with huge schemes for palaces in Madrid and [[Würzburg Residence#Staircase|Würzburg]] in Germany. Northern [[Romania]] (historical region of [[Moldavia]]) boasts about a dozen [[Churches of Moldavia|painted monasteries]], completely covered with frescos inside and out, that date from the last quarter of the 15th century to the second quarter of the 16th century. The most remarkable are the monastic foundations at [[Voroneț Monastery|Voroneţ]] (1487), [[Arbore]] (1503), [[Humor Monastery|Humor]] (1530), and [[Moldovița Monastery|Moldoviţa]] (1532). [[Sucevița Monastery|Suceviţa]], dating from 1600, represents a late return to the style developed some 70 years earlier. The tradition of painted churches continued into the 19th century in other parts of Romania, although never to the same extent.<ref>Anca Vasiliu, "Monastères de Moldavie (XIVème-XVIème siècles)", Paris Mediterranée, 1998</ref> Henri [[Clément Serveau]] produced several frescos including a three by six meter painting for the ''Lycée de [[Meaux]]'', where he was once a student.
