Îndepărtarea intervenţiilor ulterioare inadecvate şi recuperarea autenticităţii unei icoane pe lemn de secol XIX

  • Subiect: Removing interventions subsequent innapropriate and recovering the authenticity of an icon on wood of the nineteenth century There are several reasons that could determine the repainting of an icon. One could be the variation of the microclimate factors which in time have a bearing on the original aspect of the icon. Inadequate interventions were made with the best intentions, to meet the owners’ wish to refresh the icon thus degraded. Either by using materials that were aggressive towards the pictorial layer where it needed cleaning, or by adding incompatible materials which only enhanced degradation in the places that presented gaps or erosions of the colour layer. Another reason might be the trend of the time, as the tastes of the moment were influenced by the dominant artistic currents. Yet another reason is the fact that the owner has changed; the new one has a different vision on the correctness or the aesthetics of the representation and therefore wishes that the situation be rectified. Irrespective of the motivation, the restoration of an icon’s authenticity by the removal of the inadequate subsequent interventions is a very difficult decision to make, taking into account the irreversibility of such an intervention. It is mandatory to have a thorough documentation based on the results of the scientific investigations and of the tests performed on the pictural layer.
