Presentation of the Work on Wall Painting Conservation Projects in Ladakh, North India (2015, 2017)
Original language description
The paper presents a part of the author’s dissertation entitled "The Conservation of wall paintings made on earthen support, by the eastern tradition, or by technique a secco", which focuses on different approaches and practices used in wall painting restoration. The wall paintings which are presented here were executed on a non-lime based support, with paintings done mainly a secco. In the restoration of wall paintings on earthen support there are some damages which are fairly similar to the ones found on frescos, as well as the completely different ones, both of which are discussed here. The main reasons of degradation are the monument's location itself, which implies extreme climates and natural disasters (earthquakes, fires and floods). Further damages are due to natural degradation process and sensitivity of the original materials. Other degradations are caused by lack of maintenance and human actions such as the use for ritual purposes, the use of butter lamps, regular touching etc., and tourism. The paper presents two case studies of wall paintings in Ladakh, north India (supported by Tibet Heritage Fund), including the restoration treatments (which consisted in the consolidation of the paint layer, grouting, cleaning and infilling) ethic dilemmas, the applied methods and the used materials.
