Restoration of an Icon with three Saints, russian, XIXth c. The ikon has considerabely darkened with time through discoloration of its varnish and the deposit of candle smoke and other airborn pollutants. The cause for its restoration though, was waterdamage, which caused its preparation to considerabely weaken and to “cup” with some smaller paintlosses.  Photo 1 shows the icon before restoration, with the darkening of time through airborne deposits (mostly candlesmoke), the deformation of its surface through waterdamage and some paintlosses.  Photo 2 shows the ikon during restoration and before the toch-ups. It has been cleaned, the preparation consolidated and flattened, the paintlosses have already been filled in. Photo 3 shows the ikon after restoration, in its original splendor.

It is an uncredible luck to still have such a document and even more so, that Mrs. Hambourg, the artist’s widow, recognized and identified the artwork even with its “mutilations”.

This, added to the natural yellowing of the varnish, all sorts of airborn (and other) deposits, deformation of the canvas due to cracking of the tension borders, two splits and some wholes of the worms that had attacked the stretcher… |
