Wax-resin lining: history, effects on paintings, consequences for conservation
The Amsterdam Wax-Resin Project (AWRP) at the department Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) is preparing a publication on wax-resin lining. Authors are invited to submit an abstract to the selection committee by November 1, 2024.
The publication aims to collect and disseminate critical knowledge needed for the conservation and preservation of wax-resin lined paintings. It also aims to present the current state of research and discuss the challenges faced with respect to conserving wax-resin lined paintings. It is expected that the publication will form a basis from which to move forward, defining future perspectives.
