The master's thesis deals with the conservation and restoration of a hanging painting on sheet iron from the National Museum of Slovenia. The object is painted in oil on both sides. Due to the manufacturing technology and the degree of damage, it is a very complex and problematic object, and the lack of preliminary information and professional literature on the subject also represents a challenge. In the first part, with the help of research, interdisciplinary collaboration and analysis techniques, we define the material and technological structure of the artwork. In the following, extensive conservation and restoration procedures on both sides of the panel are presented: surface cleaning, removal of old varnish and corrosion products from the paint layer, conservation of the corroded support, application of a protective coating and aesthetic presentation.
