Assessing the state of conservation for stained glass windows in Transilvania
Assessing the state of conservation for stained glass windows in Transilvania

Summary/Abstract: The study refers to an analysis of the preservation state and measurements of protection of the stained glass windows commissioned between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. I will use examples of good and bad restoration practices related to the latest recommendations of Corpus Vitrearum Medium Aevii International. In the study, I also included stained glass windows installed in the same period, that do not belong to historical monuments, either because those are not classified or because they no longer exist. The final conclusion will emphasize the importance of the study of stained glass windows as artistic elements, but mainly the need to inventory the works that still exist.
