Abstract

The external factors from nature are responsible for weathering of different monuments and cause considerable deterioration of Old mural Paintings. This paper presents a virtual reconstruction scheme useful for subsequent restoration processes of the degraded versions of the murals from Matia Loggia, Corvins’Castle, Hunedoara, Romania. The analysis of materials and techniques and the possible deterioration mechanisms are discussed, too, correlated with the colour digital photography and mapping of visible painting degraded area were conducted.
