Overview:  
 
Abstract: This dissertation is concerned with eight paintings by Josef Hegenbarth, which use cardboard and textile media and originate from the Lindenau-Museum Altenburg. The theoretical study of Hegenbarth’s art technology comprises the detailed analysis of the paintings in terms of paint layer structure, paint application and consistency as well as the composition of the binding agent and the range of pigments used by the artist. Complementing the study is a search for further resources about his painting technique and framing. The practical part of this work is concerned with the restoration and conservation of all eight paintings. In doing so emphasis was put on the authentic almost untouched state of the paintings as well as on the sensitive paint layers and different image-bearing media.
