| Abstract: | This thesis deals with the analysis and the conservation and restoration of two fragments of canvas dedicated to a scenic stage-setting of the City-theatre Regensburg. During the reconstruction and restoration of the theatre in the year 2001, the fragments were removed from the middle-lodge of the auditorium. Here they had served as an isolating, non-visible wall-covering for about 150 years. Further fragments of the scenic stage setting are not extant. On their removal, one of the fragments was transferred to the wall-paper collection of the Department of Conservation and Restoration at the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt. This fragment had already been worked on by the author in the winter-term 2013/14, as the subject of a thesis summarising her practical term. The second fragment was transferred to the Department of Conservation and Restoration in May 2014, so that a joint exhibition concept could be created for both fragments. The objects in question are two hand-painted canvases made of flax, on which there is pictured blue- and green-coloured leafage. Both fragments can be dated into the first half of the 19th century. This thesis focuses mainly on the creation and realisation of an exhibition-concept that fulfils the original purpose of the objects, whereby their emergent condition will have to be considered. Since the objects in question are fragments of a stage setting, it has to be considered during discussion, decision and realisation that a delineation towards similar objects, such as wall-coverings made of canvas, is necessary. |
