Overview:  
 
Abstract: The thesis focusses on a small triptych from the Church of Saint Lorenz in Carinthia, dated about 1500. The altar is composed of two generously overpainted wings of high quality, a badly damaged shrine with uncompeted veil board. The main topic of the practical work contains the consolidation of the paint film, reduction of the disturbing varnish accumulations and removal of large overpainted areas. The final step was to integrate all missing parts of the painting and the frame by retouching. An important chapter of the thesis deals with possible methods of removing large areas of overpaint. Several different solvents and Gels have been tested concerning their ability of removal capacitiy and then practically executed onto the framework. A main part of the theoretical investigations were the research on the origin, classification and iconographical program of this specific triptych.
