Reparation of cracks in paintings

Cracking refers to the fine cracks or fissures that can appear on the surface of a painting over time. These cracks can be caused by various factors, including aging, climatic changes, improper storage, or the use of incompatible materials. Cracking can give the painting a unique aesthetic charm and contribute to its historical character. However, when cracking becomes severe or leads to paint loss, restoration may be necessary to preserve and repair the painting's surface.

An experienced painting restorer can assess the extent of cracking and apply appropriate techniques to consolidate the cracks and preserve the painting's integrity. It is important to consider an appropriate restoration method to ensure that the painting's authenticity and aesthetics are preserved while protecting it from further damage.
