From the support, up: paint reconstructions in context

?Video (1989) om rekonstruksjonen av Madonna fra Hedalen, Oppland , ca. 40 min.

Skulpturen er datert til midten av 1200-tallet. Rekonstruksjonen ble utf?rt med basis i den kunnskap vi har om middelalderens verkt?y og maleteknikker. F.eks. er fargenes bindemiddel olje, og s?lvfoliene er lagt direkte p? krittgrunderingen med et vannl?selig animalsk lim.Filmen ble produsert av malerikonservatorene ved KHM i 1989.
