Summary:
The research works were carried out in two phases: the multispectral recording, and physical and chemical tests, which provided main direction to conservation and restoration treatment.
The access to analytical testing allowed consideration of the wider problem involving the work of art the icons Deesis with St Nicholas, St Spyridon and St Daniel the Stylite. The obtained results provide a clear insight into the style characteristics, painting technologies, construction of paint layer, selection of substrate, and the application of pigment, binder and varnish for protection. Dry cleaning of lacquer and paint layer is done using DMSO + ethyl acetate + citric acid, with thickener (in stages).
The paint layer reconstruction retouching was carried out using watercolour palette and oil paint palette. Retouching was done using the tratteggio technique. In this way, the unity of retouched surface and the original surfaces was achieved. The work on the icons lasted for almost a year. First, it was necessary to look at the work of art as a whole, starting from pencil drawings, visible in certain segments of the paint layer, to the massive ornamental frame. During the operation, certain hidden details were discovered, especially when it comes to the painted details and decorative elements on clothes of the saints.
This enabled the selection of the most efficient, most harmless and overall minimum treatment in terms of conservation and restoration. Such treatment with minimal intervention gave us the maximum results.
