| Abstract: | Maltese wall paintings from the Baroque period onwards were mostly executed in oil or oil-based media applied directly to local limestone (Globigerina Limestone), which is a soft, very porous stone (porosity ~ 40%). These murals are often found in a poor state of conservation. One such painting on a dome of a church located near Malta's main harbour was chosen as a case study. · Painted in 1903 and heavily restored in 1963, the painting's advanced state of deterioration makes it an excellent example to review/examine and understand the most common effects and processes of deterioration related to similar wall paintings, and thus to provide essential infonnation for establishing a proper conservation strategy. |
