Abstract
It. Estetica della conservazione-restauro; Fr. Esthétique de la conservation-restauration; Germ. Ästhetik der Konservierung-Restaurierung; Sp. Estética de la Conservación-Restauración. The label refers to the philosophical and aesthetic debates surrounding the conservation and restoration of artworks, buildings, and other artefacts of cultural interest. Conservation-restoration practices include interventions aimed at safeguarding objects against physical alteration, ruination, and decay as well as measures facilitating their continued accessibility, appreciation, and understanding. While artefacts and artistic items have always been mended and repaired, conservation-restoration is a relatively modern discipline, dating back to the period between the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, conservation-restoration is recognized as a distinct profession, requiring technical skills and familiarity with several scientific procedures. In itself, however, the activity of restoring and conserving artworks also raises concerns that are primarily conceptual in nature (Cometti 2016; Scott 2017).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
