CLEANING OF A PAINTING - PROGETTO ARTENET - SCIENTIFIC REPRODUCTION AND RESTORATION
"Scientific reproductions", or the works performed with the utmost respect of the many technical differences adopted by the masters of the past, can be aged and patinated allowing future restorers to learn the process of restoration without putting original artworks at risk.
By this we do not mean that the reproduction should be considered a substitute for a real work of art in restoration, but, we believe it can configure itself as a tool of knowledge of the material aspect of an art object.
Cesare Brandi says that only the matter of the work of art is to be restored, but there is no separation between the matter and the image.
The cleaning of a painting involves:
- the removal of superficial drips and splatters, etc.;
- the removal of dirt deposited on the surface and that over time has become partially imbedded in the surface;
- the removal of over-painting and altered or disturbing in-painting;
- the removal (or better stated, the thinning out) of the altered protective layers (varnishes applied over one another and at times the original varnishes) that inhibit or highly limit the correct reading of the work.
