Art - Painting on the famous legend of Kriebstein Castle restored
During restoration, it was discovered according to reports, that a previous treatment with glue adhesive was the cause of the condition of the painting. The canvas had shrunk due to moisture and the paint layer had partially peeled off. After five months of treatment, the painting is now reportedly in "excellent conservational and aesthetic condition" and can be seen again in its original place.
The painting tells the legend of the women living in the castle in the 15th century who outwitted their besiegers. They allegedly asked him to leave them with the most valuable thing they had on - and instead wore their husbands on their backs.
