Abstract
The poster presents two paintings by the Polish painter Wacław Piotrowski. The history of the paintings is related to the history of the city of Warsaw. The paintings were created from 1912 to 1915. They were badly damaged during World War II and underwent conservation-restoration 75 years later, at the Faculty of Conservation-Restoration of the Fine Arts Academy in Warsaw. The main conservation-restoration problem were extensive losses in the canvas and paint layer, which required a lot of retouching. The treatment aimed at stopping the deterioration of the paintings, stabilizing the material of the works and restoring the aesthetic values, which had been lost over the years.
