Abstract
The evolution of the structure of paintings belonging to the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th centuries is discussed, and the analysis of characteristic damages of ground and paint layer of canvases, painted in different techniques, is presented in the report. Results of experiments on modelling typical damages by means of the method of accelerated heat and moisture aging of samples imitating certain elements of the structure of painting are cited. Practical recommendations are proposed as to correcting traditional methods of restoring paintings belonging to this period with regard to technical and technological characteristics of a painting. A new method of stabilizing paintings without lining them on a new support is put forward. -- AATA
