Medieval polychrome wood sculptures are highly complex objects,
bearers of histories that begin with their original carving and
adornment and continue through long centuries of repainting,
deterioration, restoration, and conservation. Abundantly
illustrated, this book is the first in English to offer a
comprehensive overview of the conservation of medieval painted wood
sculpture for conservators, curators, and others charged with their
care. Beginning with an illuminating discussion of the history,
techniques, and meanings of these works, it continues with their
examination and documentation, including chapters on the
identification of both the wooden support and the polychromy
itself-the paint layers, metal leaf, and other materials used for
these sculptures. The volume also covers the many aspects of
treatment: the process of determining the best approach;
consolidation and adhesion of paint, ground, and support; overpaint
removal and surface cleaning; and compensation. Four case studies
on artworks in the collection of The Cloisters in New York, a
comprehensive bibliography, and a checklist to aid in documentation
complement the text.
