Baroque stucco techniques of Baldassarre Fontana at Kroměříž Château

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study investigates the materials and construction techniques employed in the Baroque stucco decorations of the ground-floor halls at Kroměříž Château, executed by Baldassarre Fontana and his workshop. The material composition of sixteen samples was analysed using optical microscopy, SEM-EDS,XRD, thermal analysis, and acid dissolution. The results revealed the deliberate use of highpurity calcitic lime, sourced from Devonian limestone near Přerov and gypsum from the Ketř-Opava basin. Two mortar types were identified: a lime-gypsum-sand core modelling mortar and a lime-rich finishing stucco mortar, reflecting layered application techniques. The presence of crushed marble in certain decorations suggests recipe changes and indicates a multi-phase construction process possibly extending beyond Fontana’s supervision. Surface finishes were initially limited to white limewash, later overpainted with layers containing zinc white pigments. The findings highlight 17thcentury stucco practices, provide a foundation for further conservation and historical research, and establish a benchmark for Central-European Baroque stucco studies.
