Sažetak
The paper deals with conservation and restoration works, conducted between 1947 and 1963, in four churches in continental Croatia. It is the church of Our Lady of the Mountain in Lobor and that of St. Brice in Kalnik, as well as the chapels of St. Stephen in Zagreb and St. Martin in Martinščina.
Conservation and restoration of mural paintings in these buildings was done under the guidance of Ana Deanović, which is quiet clear from the balanced presentation principle applied in the reconstruction of the painted layer. Reconstruction or restorement in the painted layer was made solely on newly applied plaster patches. With the exception of the chapel of St. Stephen, no toning of the intonaco damaged surface layer of was performed. The aim of the team was to visually connect what was found in one whole, without affecting the original structure. The article also lists all the participants and members of the working groups. It is mostly students or graduates from the Academy of Applied Arts in Zagreb at the time. Some of them worked on nearly all these buildings, because the works were carried out chronologically, one after the other, or often overlapped. A special emphasis in the article is put on the description of the applied technology and materials used in the performance of conservation and restoration procedures in order to evaluate all possible negative effects after about 50 years have passed. What is important is also the collected written archival material, which serves as a remainder of the beginnings of a more systematic documentation of applied conservation practices on murals.
