The Sistine Chapel, the Brancacci Chapel, and the Tomb of Nefertari are among the wall paintings discussed in this book by international experts in conservation. The special problems associated with the protection of works such as these are explored from the perspectives of diagnosis, documentation, treatment, and monitoring. A definitive paper on the effects of salts on wall paintings is also included. This publication is the result of a symposium held at the Courtauld Institute in London, convened to focus on the broad issues facing the profession today.
