Resumen

Un método innovador de reintegración discernible se probó con éxito en un conjunto de siete pinturas, los Puys d'Amiens. Tres de las siete pinturas tenían grandes lagunas. El desafío fue encontrar una solución de reintegración que nos permitiera presentar las siete pinturas juntas, mejorar la comprensión de las pinturas dañadas y, al mismo tiempo, mantener la discernibilidad de la reintegración. Después de varias simulaciones digitales, las más prometedoras se probaron en las lagunas de Puy 1518. En base a los archivos, la solución acordada se denominó "reconstitución grisaille" y consiste en reconstruir figuras, contornos y valores de la pintura original, omitiendo de propósito la restitución de Colores. Este método se llevó a cabo en las tres pinturas dañadas.

Biografía del autor/a

Séverine Françoise, freelance conservator

With a Master’s degree in conservation-restoration from the National Institute of Heritage (INP, Paris), Séverine works as a freelance conservator of easel paintings, with a specialisation in old master panels, at different French museums. Over the last ten years, she has worked at various French museums and has collaborated on multiple projects with the French Museums Restoration Research Centre (C2RMF), based in Paris. More recently, she has led and coordinated a team of 9 conservators in charge of the conservation of the Puys d’Amiens.

Laurence Mugniot, freelance conservator

Laurence graduated from Ecole du Louvre (Paris) in history of art, and in conservation-restoration of paintings (INP, Paris). She works today as freelance conservator of easel paintings in French public collections. She has collaborated several times with conservators of metal, furniture or sculpture to treat objects which need specific or atypical solutions of reintegration. Thus she has developed a great interest for these questions.

Frédéric Pellas, Freelance restorer of paintings

Having obtained a degree from the Fine Art Academy Paris and a master’s degree in restoration at the National Institute of Heritage (INP), Frédéric works in Paris since 1989 as freelance restorer of paintings, especially for C2RMF and the Louvre museum. He has developed a specialised background in reconstitutions of large losses and restored artworks in respect of their aesthetical and historical understandings based on archives.
