CONDITION REPORT date of report: - December 14, 2010
Owner: - A. Ali
Artist: - unknown
Materials: - oil on canvas
Title: - Emperor Maximilian (1527-1576)
Date: - 16th century Flemish school – Date advised by Phillip Darcy, ancient painting expert in Lille france is between 1560 and 1565.
Dimensions: - 60cm x 72cm
Signature & location: - none
Frame & location: - none
Primary Support
The original canvas is coarse weave linen; it has a glue paste lining of cotton fabric with a cotton scrim interleaf. The lining is brittle and deteriorated.
The painting is loose - not on a stretcher. The original tacking edges not extant.
Paint Layer
Losses are notable in areas of tears, creases (result of handling and folding, it not being attached to a stretcher for some time) and damage across the surface.
Old original varnish has been impressed into the paint layer from previous lining processes along with myriad tiny losses to the weave tops, which present as black spottiness.
Varnish Layer/Surface
A thick discoloured layer of fractured varnish disfigures the image.
Recommended Treatment
The old lining needs to be removed and replaced to enable consolidation of the paint layer and support of the painting.
PTO
Actual Treatment
New lining canvas of polyester sailcloth fabric and Beva 371 heat-seal adhesive prepared.
Most of the removal of the old varnish was made at this stage to prevent damage or impress into the paint layer during relining.
The front of the painting was faced with Eltoline tissue and Beva 371 adhesive prior to the old lining being removed. This process allows for consolidation of flaking paint prior to lining.
The old lining was removed and aged and brittle glue layer removed.
The lining process carried out and the painting refitted to a new stretcher, prepared with a dry linen backing canvas.
Refitting the painting to the stretcher with copper tacks inserted through cotton binding.
Fit and tie in wedges.
The surface tissue removed and the face of the painting cleaned.
Brush coat of temporary ketone resin varnish to isolate the paint layer prior to filling.
Losses filled with gesso putty.
Temporary varnish removed and brush coat of MS2A resin varnish applied.
Retouching carried out with dry pigments and ketone resin.
