Paintings on Metal Supports
Paintings on metal supports require specialized conservation due to the distinct properties of metal and its interaction with the paint layers. Environmental fluctuations, corrosion, and mechanical damage can compromise the stability of the artwork over time.
Each painting is individually assessed and treated according to its condition, with the aim of stabilizing the work, preserving original materials, and maintaining its artistic and historical integrity.
