This article discusses some issues related to the preservative conservation of objects fromcategories of painting on canvas, textiles and costumes focusing on the proper care inhandling, packing and transport of them. More than a compilation of good practices, thisarticle aims to enhance awareness and warn all those who deal with these tasks and therepercussions that may arise when they are not properly executed.
The purpose of this article is to make Known to the public the work carried out underthe frame of the Research Project: Craftsmen and Patrons within Monasticism in Galicia(INCITE09 263 131 PR), funded by the Xunta de Galicia. This project brought to light allevents related with the liturgical furniture of the Montederramo Cisctercian MonasteryChurch after the sail of Church Property (Desarmortización).
The Misericórdia of Barcelos is presently installed in the former convent of S. Francisco,to where it moved in 1836, after the dissolution of the religious orders held two yearsbefore. The former headquarters of the brotherhood were ceded to the Municipality andits church would be included in the New City Hall, begun in 1849. A recent architecturalintervention revealed the old church, and access to unpublished documentation, depositedin the archives of the confraternity, has enabled us to reconstruct some of the majorphases of its construction and execution of original paintings and altarpieces.
The work presented in this study is an abstract of a more extensive work. This workemerged as an imperative for classification and authentication of a previously unknownpainting that has as a reference the Ecce Homo´s iconographic model of Juan de Juanes,in order to determine who was the artist that created it. With the certain that FranciscoRibalta was one of the most known copyists of Juan de Juanes´works, it´s considered thathe may possibly be the autor of this work. So the stylistic evaluation and the analysis ofthe pictorial technique and the constituent materials allow us to recognize the compatibilityof the painting with the gathered data. Also, it even allow us to compare the results withthose of a painting by Ribalta.
Conservators may be exposed to a variety of potentially harmful materials. The dangersto conservation professionals are numerous and, therefore, it is important to identify thehazardous materials and the “bad practices”. Despite of most professionals being sensitized for the safety aspects associated with cleaning solvents, adhesives, protective varnishes, thepigments and paints are usually neglected, although involving risk to health professionals.The aim of this paper is to evaluate the occupational hazards inherent to the materials andtechniques used in the retouching practice.
A arte da talha dourada em Portugal ganhou a sua mais rica expressão durante a época barroca devido ao desenvolvimento das técnicas de produção e ao uso do ouro em folha.O presente trabalho propõe um estudo complementar e comparativo de dois complexos importantes da talha respectivamente em Lisboa, na Igreja de São Alberto, integrada no circuito de visitas do Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, e no distrito de Santarém, na Igreja de Vale de Figueira. Os dois complexos albergam decoração em talha dourada do séculoXVIII, estudados através de uma abordagem inter-disciplinar, em que os dados analíticos(microscopia óptica, teste de coloração fluorescente, FRX, MEV-EDX, microtomografia computadorizada, FTIR, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-Time of Flight MassSpectrometry) complementam os dados históricos.
This article reveals the artist-restorer Luciano Freire and explains his role on the developmentof conservation in Portugal, between the end and the first half of the 19th-20th centuries. Itseeks to compare national and international context, with regards to philosophy and practiceof conservation. In Portugal, the enhancement of original state of art works, along with theambition of recovering the harmony of the whole, resulted in reconstitution and mimeticpractice. Freire is no exception to this reality, but his intellectual approach and his sense ofmission, turns him into a figurehead, introducing the interdisciplinary team and critical reflection.
The main art form in the Coptic monasteries and churches in Egypt was wall paintingsand iconography. In this study, analytical data were gathered on green pigment samplescollected from Coptic wall paintings from the monastery of St. Anthony, The Eastern Desert,Red Sea Governorate, Egypt. The samples were analyzed by environmental scanningelectron microscopy (ESEM) coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis system(EDX), Imaging with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR imaging) and visiblereflectance spectroscopy. The results showed that green earth pigment (terre verte) andmainly the glauconite, was used to produce the green color. In conclusion, some usefulinformation may be obtained from the present study concerning green earth pigmentsused in Coptic wall paintings.
A nave da Igreja Paroquial de S. Salvador de Ramalde é revestida por um tecto de quarenta e cinco pinturas em caixotões que representam um ciclo historiado, executado por uma companhia artística. No geral, o tecto encontrava-se num estado de conservação considerado instável, com inúmeras patologias na estrutura de sustentação, nas pinturas e nas molduras. Antes da urgente intervenção de conservação e restauro foi importante centrar a investigação em fontes documentais e na história da arquitectura do edifício. Efectuou-se, igualmente, um estudo científico preliminar em dez caixotões correspondentes ao coro-alto, através do recurso a exames e análises, com o objectivo de conhecer os materiais e as técnicas utilizadas, para melhor adequar os métodos de conservação.
