The Process
©2000 Silvia Battaglini
There have been chosen materials that allowed the most exact similarity of the prehistoric painted wall: coal, iron oxides (yellow, red), coloring pigments (burnt umber), crayons and distempers (burnt Sienna, white, black, brillant yellow, vermilion). The colour has been spreaded with paint-brushes of hair of ox n°16 and with paint-brushes of syntetic hair n° 2, 4, 6, 12, 20.
Method and procedure
Here are brought, in syntesis, the phases of the reproducing work of the drawing:
- 1. - relief detailed on tissue-paper of the drawing to reproduce
- 2. - transfer of the drawing, through projection, on the wall previously reconstructed in resin, dimensions cm 250 x 220. The ground colours (red, ochre and yellow) have been spreaded during the wall preparation
- 3. - reproduction of the painting
- 4. - fixing of the painting.
Conclusions
The reconstruction in real dimension of the painted wall and her exhibition in museum permits to the visitor a direct and immediate contact with the prehistoric art: he can see directly the way the man has painted, he can observe the signs and the colours, he can image his gestures. So that the painted wall turns to be the vehicle of information, favouring in the visitor the spur, the curiosity and the learning.
