Language: Original   -   Translation
Overview:  
 
Abstract: The diploma thesis deals with the conservation and restoration of a 17th century collage that
consists of paper and textile glued on a painted alabaster relief. This unusually composed
object depicts the mythological scene “Aeneas’ Flight from Troy” based on an etching with
the same subject of the Italian painter Federico Barocci. The art historical part of the thesis
covers provenance research with comparative examples such as alabaster reliefs from
Mechelen and baroque collages from Southern Germany called “Applikationsbilder”. The
goals of the conservation are, on the one hand, cleaning to achieve a uniform appearance of
the material mix, and on the other hand, the discussion of possibilities for the reconstruction
of extensive missing parts.
