Project Title

Restawr tal-kwadru titulari tal-Knisja, tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu

Project Description

This project proposes the comprehensive restoration and conservation a significant religious artifact within the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Church in Fgura:
Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Oil Painting): This project encompasses the restoration of a 140cm x 80cm oil on canvas painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The painting shows significant deterioration (documented in Method Statement – Document 2): a thick layer of dust and oxidized varnish obscuring original colors; a milky greyish layer suggesting moisture damage; craquelure; previous retouching; tears; tarnished silver embellishments; and various patches and inscriptions on the verso. The proposed restoration, adhering to ECCO guidelines, will involve a multi-step process for the artifact including cleaning, localized consolidation, lining (for the painting), retouching, and careful treatment of the silver elements. The project will include thorough photographic documentation and a final report.
