The presence of cracks and flaking on a canvas requires special attention in the field of art conservation. These signs may indicate structural or environmental problems that need to be addressed to prevent further deterioration of the artwork.
To remedy these problems, it is crucial to stabilise the canvas. This may include:
- consolidating the flaked areas,
- tear mending,
- and applying illusionistic retouching techniques to harmonise the restored areas with the rest of the artwork.
It is essential to entrust this work to experienced conservators to ensure the preservation and enhancement of your painting. Professional intervention ensures that the integrity and authenticity of the artwork are respected, while extending its longevity.
