Summary/Abstract: This paper surveys the causes of alteration of those mineral pigments used in the fresco mural painting of the architectural ensemble of Hurezi Monastery. The conservation-restoration works undertaken throughout the last 30 years and the physical-chemical analyses made during their implementing revealed that the level of pigment alteration depended greatly on the area’s microclimate specificity. The results at Hurezi Monastery allowed thus to establish a direct analogy with similar research on pigment alteration conditions undertaken by authors of various countries.
