In 1 9 8 6 -1 9 9 4 a team o f conservators from Warsaw, headed by Danuta Majdowa, conducted the conservation o f frescoes and stucco decorating the interior o f one o f the finest Baroque churches in Warsaw — the Bernardine church o f St. Anthony o f Padua in the Czerniakow district o f the town. The paintings and stucco were executed in about 1 6 8 8 -1 6 9 3 and founded by marshal Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, outstanding patron o f the arts, poet and statesman. There were at least four painters involved but only the names o f Francesco Antonio Giorgioli and his brother, stucco master Carlo Giuseppe, both from Meride in the Ticino canton in Switzerland, are known. Conservation disclosed initials made in plaster presumably by the first o f the two artists. The exceptionally careful, exemplary conservation removed all dirt, repainting and retouches made during previous conservation as well as a layer o f wax, in this way revealing the original. The stratification o f the plaster was liquidated with the help o f injections o f polyvinyl acetate in water dispersion with an addition o f fine sand. The (concealed) bolts installed 4 0 years ago had fulfilled their task and integrated the plaster which was already then succumbing to stratification. The gaps in the foundation were filled with lime-sand mortar putty, while those in the painting layer were supplemented by resorting to the small dot method, totally resigning from imitative retouching. Thanks to thorough and perfectly conducted operations, the polychromy regained its original appearance and unique warm colour tones.

The new owner of the much neglected fourteenthcentury castle in Morąg commenced a gradual restoration of the whole building. Repair and construction conducted in 2002 were preceded by a search for murals in the castle interiors. All the interiors were examined by means of uncovering methods applying the cross-strip system as well as a non-invasive method based on solvents. Both investigations and earlier quests led to the discovery of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century vaults richly decorated with ornamental polychrome and figurai motifs in the tondos. The researchers also uncovered fragments of murals in ground-floor interiors underneath numerous layers of plaster and lime whitening. Finally, the author describes a series of examinations of the plaster and brick walls.
