O reentelamento com compostos de cera-resina: o aprendizado de Edson Motta no Fogg Conservation Center e a adaptação à realidade brasileira

After Edson Motta's graduation from the Fogg Conservation Center, his experience contributed to the practice of conservation in Brazil through the introduction of new materials and the technique of wax-resin lining. However, this technique has drawbacks when applied in a country of tropical climate and few resources. It is important, when considering the use of this approach, to be mindful of the conservator's historical role, which can reveal why this technique was, very likely, the best choice for the conservation of the vast patrimony of canvas paintings in Brazil.
