Problemy współczesnej restauracji polichromii klasycystycznej na przykładzie komputerowej aranżacji malowideł w kamienicy Pod Aniołkiem w Krakowie

The article concerns frescos from the 15th century bourgeois tenement house called “Pod Aniołkiem” in Cracow. Most important issues raised here are: contemporary conservation and restoration of classical polychrome on the eastern wall of the front room on the second floor and the visualisation of this room with regard to restoration and design works conducted there in the seventies. The room is such an excellent example of the variety of historical layers that it has become the subject of the computer three-dimensional visualisation. The spectator can be easily sent to different appearances of the room – in chosen periods of time. The history of the tenement house called “Pod Aniołkiem” and the description of the frescos inside are also included in the article. Other issues discussed here are: problems with conservation in the seventies of the twentieth century and the attitude of restorers towards the exhibition of wall paintings. Last but not least, the condition of frescos’ conservation in the room and the physical-chemical researches carried out there are tackled as well. Translated by Dobromiła Kwiatkowska
