The conservation and restoration of easel paintings involve all the direct and indirect interventions necessary to preserve and display a painting.

​

Indirect interventions are, for instance, controlled climate conditions, adequate monitoring and conservation conditions.

 

Direct measures might be curative or aesthetic and correspond to actual treatments such as cleaning, filling, and retouching, among many other interventions.

​

After a careful study that might include technological, archivist, stylistic and historical analyses, an appropriate conservation and restoration strategy is decided to improve the painting's conservation and/or aesthetic condition.

 

Defining the materiality of the painting is important as each material requires specific care and protective measures.

 

Providing the proper care to each of these materials ensures that the overall condition of the painting is protected.

 

Understanding and mapping all the alterations and damages observed are also essential for defining a treatment proposal.

 

This way, tailored solutions are given considering both the technical aspects of the material and its particular alteration or damage, allowing a well-thought intervention.
