The Recent Discovery, Research and Restoration of Medieval and Renaissance Frescoes in Riga Castle – A Treasure to the Baltic Region

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One of the most important castles of the medieval Teutonic Order—Riga Castle in Latvia—is currently undergoing extensive reconstruction work. This study attempts to summarize recentinformation about the medieval fresco in the chapel and decorative paintings (17th century CE) on thevaults and vault consoles of the refectory that were found during this work. The restorers acquireda combined knowledge of the materials during the pre-restoration research as well as during therestoration process. This, together with the art historian’s viewpoint, and analytical study conductedby chemical technologist of art restoration and material scientists, allowed for an understanding ofthe materials present, as well as for a determination of the most probable techniques used for thecreation of the frescoes. Based on the results presented in this study, the investigated fresco wasmostly created using local materials for the plaster and imported ones for pigments, specificallyazurite, malachite, and cinnabar. The restoration works, and the possible iconographic meaning ofthe remaining fragments of the medieval painting, are also discussed.
