Researched by conservators

This presentation introduces the art-technological examination, conservation, and re-stretching of a canvas painting from the late oeuvre of Karl Hagemeister (1848–1933), carried out as part of a thesis at the HfBK Dresden in 2025. It was discovered alongside another painting by Hagemeister at Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin.

Both works had been stored for decades, folded inside one another and rolled up.

Following a thorough art-technological examination, one of the two paintings was unrolled and restored to a conservatorially stable condition through the consolidation of the impasto paint layer, cleaning, and the treatment of deformations and damage to the support, after which it was mounted on a new stretcher frame.

In addition to these practical measures, research into the provenance of the two paintings, as well as comparative studies of the stretching frames and mounting methods of other paintings by Hagemeister, were further focal points of the work.

Presenter: Dipl.-Rest. Marie Becker, Gemäldegalerie Berlin
