Summary/Abstract: Berislăvești Monastery, a less known architectural assembly among the numerous monasteries from Vâlcea county, is now under a continuous restoration and consolidation process. Working on the mural paintings offered the restorers the possibility to analyze the previous interventions and draw conclusions regarding the repercussions on the mural paintings and offer new information for analysis to both art historians and restorers. The main endeavor of this intervention wich had a major impact on the aesthetics of the “Three hierarchs” church is the recovery of the forgotten original mural decoration that was lost under multiple overpainting or layers of whitewash and the process of valorisation by finding a solution to keep the two historical paintings layers found here, which differ in style and history.
