Case Study |
Saving the Materiality and Spirituality of a Living Church Mural Ensemble,
Surpatele Monastery, 1706
by Anca Nicolaescu and Simona Patrascu
|
|
|
|
The conservation of the mural ensemble from the Surpatele Monastery’s Church, carried out by Restauro Art Grup S.R.L. between 2003 - 2004, was a complex project due to the serious structural damages occurred during time. When the project started in 2003 the monument was very close to collapse.
The multidisciplinary cooperation between different specialists like architects, engineers, art historians and conservators was, therefore, essential for safeguarding the monument and its authenticity. Due to the severe damage, the final aesthetical presentation was also a very important task. |
|
|
The church being part of a nunnery that still preserves its liturgical function, the aesthetical approach was chosen not only from the authenticity point of view but also with regard to the iconographic integrity of the whole ensemble.
