In various periods several commissioners wanted to leave their mark on the church. After having changed users several times in the period of the Reformation, in the early 17th...

The first priority in all the paintings is consolidating loose paint and removing dirt from the surface. Subsequently, old putty is removed so as to expose the original painting as much as possible. During the restoration large voids will have to be filled up in a neutral...
