One of the first records
of a restoration intervention in Portugal dates back to 1890 when the
painter Manuel de Moura restored the XVIth century Flemish panel Fons
Vitae. In 1896, the chemical engineer Charles Lepierre examined some
cloth fragments found on a bishop tomb located on the Saint Mary
Cathedral at Coimbra, starting in this way the scientific study of
works of art in Portugal.
