Šumanović back in the Institute

Based on the Agreement between the Provincial Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, Petrovaradin and the "Sava Šumanović" Painting Gallery from Šid, complete conservation and restoration works were carried out on six paintings by Sava Šumanović.

The work included complete preventive protection of the painted layer, consolidation of the painted layer and canvas support (several hours of treatment in a vacuum table), sealing and retouching of damage and preventive protection of the edge zone of the painting, as well as protection of the author's canvas from the back by placing acid-free cardboard.

Extensive renovation work is underway on the gallery space, which includes remote monitoring and air conditioning.
