Microscopical characterization of layered pigmented coatings from the interior of the basilica of St. Venceslas in Stará Boleslav
Frankeová, Dita ; Slížková, Zuzana ; Jurkovská, Lucie
The layers of individual samples, layer thicknesses, and their chemical composition were described using optical and electron microscopy. It was determined that most of them are lime coatings with the addition of natural clays, or zinc, lead, or iron pigments.
Modification of protective lime coating systems for the porous limestone using lime nanomaterials: assessment of mechanical properties and ageing resistance

Within the area of care for sculptural and architectonic monuments of limestone in Austria there has been a historic continuity of use of protective lime coatings. In the regions of Upper and Lower Austria, Vienna and Burgenland mainly Leitha limestone (named after the Leitha Mountains) are dealt with. In Czech lands such approach was disrupted from 19th century by application of the “purist” idea of bare surface of stone. Nevertheless, this treatment of stone surface has been coming back into use for many various reasons in the past few decades. Requirements for preservation of pieces of art and handcraft made of limestone using lime coatings are most often applied in the regions of Vyso!ina, South Moravia and South Bohemia, which directly border on the Northern States of Austria. Owing to the resource locations of Leitha limestone in these regions, there is a higher representation of cultural heritage monuments made of this type of stone in the Czech Republic.
