Abstract: | With regard to the different damage pictures and damage causes the preservation of the park sculpture "allegory of the summer" many various problems were expanded. It was the aim of this master thesis to solve miscellaneous problem definitions with restorative and scientific methods. The emphasis of this work lay on the two main difficulties, the filling behind of loose rock scales and the choice of usable consolidation means and a suitable consolidation method. At first the object was described art historically and iconographic put in order. By exact examinations the damage pictures were classified, differentiated and the damage causes as well as weathering mechanisms shown. The author developed a suitable preservation concept due to the examinations gone in front. A silicic acid ester bound cement mass adapted to the object qualities was produced. The qualities and advantages of the consolidation means silicic acid ester were discussed and his choice justified in detail. A Polish consolidation method was presented and discussed. For the preservation of the park sculpture this method was modified and the modification justified. Last the conservation measures were described and documented and pointed to future preservation steps. The sculpture is freed from dirt, microorganisms and the damaging coatings. Endangered scales have become by a cement mass protected produced individually. Broken parts of the object were sticked up and the weathered stone areas have been consolidated with silicic acid ester. The work of art was conserved for next generations. |
