Abstract
This article aims to present the diagnosis and intervention of conservation and restoration carried out on the ceiling painted on wood of the church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Ulgueira, dating from the XVIII century, as well as the actions of sensitization for the use and preservation of this heritage. The painting is of unknown authorship and has as iconography the Our Lady of the Conception with characteristics of the baroque period of unique beauty and quality. This investigation and intervention was justified by the chromatic alteration of the work, by the need to fix some boards to the ceiling support structure, and because the immunization and the disinfestation of the wood were essential. Laboratory techniques were used to identify the binder, the varnish and the metal foil. It was concluded that there is a layer of terpene origin, which can be related to the rosin, the original varnish, and another one of acrylic nature, which can be associated with Paraloid® B72, used in an earlier intervention for the establishment by the Professional School of Restoration of the Patrimony of Sintra in 1994 (ArtLab, 2018; Neves, Fátima Maria; Pereira, Maria João; 1994).
