Zusammenfassung: This Bachelor thesis deals with the preparation of a concept of measures of the large- sized canvas painting “The Sacrifice of Iphigenia” by Christoph Fesel, dated 1781. The object is held in the castle of Herrnsheim and is since 1958 in the possession of the city of Worms.
A range of damages-phenomena necessitate a conservation and restoration. Based on the unstable condition of the tender frame, before the investigation could start it was necessary to stabilize the tenter-frame. In addition, defects in artistic technique, aging and previous restorations have led to problems regarding conservation and the aesthetics. A further challenge was the question of how to work on a large-sized painting.
The survey and the condition report were based on technological investigation, scientific analysis, climate measurements and historical research. Through a historic photograph of 1958 and cuttings, which had been stuck to patches fixed on the reverse, it was possible to identify two separate restorations. A removal of the varnish was carried out in a first restoration, but was restricted to the illuminated areas in the foreground, so that it is currently impossible to see what is depicted in the background. Equally important for the concept of measures is the analysis of the present damage, which is caused by technical defects, visitors, climate conditions and previous restorations. The concept of measures is based on the knowledge hitherto acquired. It is supported by an extensive series of tests and includes in addition to conservation and restoration also preventive conservation. The paper amplifies in detail the protection of the reverse, the consolidation and also the removal of a wax coating, the varnish, overpaintings and the patches of the reverse. A particular emphasis lies on suggestions for an additional support of the tenter-frame and for the handling of a large-sized painting.
