Abstract

This thesis attempts to explain the approaches, methods and procedures in the preservation and conservation of paintings on wooden and textile panels in the period from 1948 until the second decade of the 21st century. The development of the conservation and restauration praxis in Croatia with an accent on movable cultural heritage is concisely presented through the research of the archival documentation of thirty-five easel paintings owned by the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters in Zagreb. While the first part of the thesis explains the formation of the art collection and the concept elaboration of the collection in the permanent exhibition of the Strossmayer Gallery, the second part of the thesis focuses on the praxis of the preservation of paintings in Croatia as a response to and a reflection of the European theory of conservation. The changes in the approaches, methods and procedures of preservation and the usage of restorative materials will be presented and explained through concrete examples of interventions on the paintings from the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters.
