Abstract: | Owing to the occasion of „900 years Klosterneuburg Monastery“, the substance and condition of a baroque portrait series are evaluated in this diploma thesis. The central topic is the oil painting „Provost Balthasar Polzmann (reg. 1584-1596)“. Being heavily restored, its appearance is influenced by several secondary layers of varnish and large scale overpainting. hen Fokus steht ein Diskurs zum Umgang mit Übermalungen.

The central topic is the oil painting „Provost Balthasar Polzmann (reg. 1584-1596)“. Being heavily restored, its appearance is influenced by several secondary layers of varnish and large scale overpainting. Supported by natural scientific and radiodiagnostic examination, a concept for the conservation and restoration is developed. The practical work focusses on securing losses and tears in the textile carrier, consolidating the cupped paint layer by working with a low pressure table and reducing the shellac varnish. Additionally a discussion is held concerning the treatment of overpaintings. |
