Social Work Caja Badajoz meet, at the initiative of the City of Salamanca, the recovery of the mural painting of the Holy Trinity (Old Church of Arrabal), which was discovered in the recent revaluation of the temple attack by the Session in their agreement with the Diocese which, in turn, the municipal institution obtained the cession of the new church of the suburb in which they placed an art museum dedicated to the Passion.
This was agreed today on his visit to the temple the mayor, Julian Lanzarote, with the director of the northern part of Caja Badajoz, Domingo Mateo Sanchez, whose bank will pay for the recovery of the mural and consolidation in an amount approximately 20,000 euros.
The Church of the Holy Trinity was founded in S. XII by a knight of the Order of S. John of Jerusalem and is mentioned in the items of Alfonso X "one of the most famous shrines of Christianity." One of the first news we have the temple is due to the donation in 1626 made D. Nicholas to the Cabildo of Santa Maria in an orchard that bordered on the Church and the stream of Zurg. Two centuries earlier, particularly in 1408, was occupied by religious Trinitarians and also served as a Dominican and walled room. This church, which originally is Romanesque, stone, masonry and brick, is also one of the few buildings that survived after the flood of S. Polycarp in 1626. Finding



restoration in the City Council undertook during the last term in the Church of the Holy Trinity was discovered painting by breaking away from the lime still remains half-hidden. This mural is located in the wall of the Gospel of the Church, especially decorating the bottom of an arc of three meters high by 1.80 wide.
The historical explanation for the finding goes back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the murals in many of the churches were whitewashed. This practice responded mainly to the order of the Council of Trent, who advised to delete any item that would divert the attention of the faithful of the central point of the altar. Was also a method as hygienic as home to solve the problem of the plague. Despite being buried under lime, many wall paintings were saved because the vast majority of those stored in the light were eliminated by failing to comply with a decorative or religious-didactic time.
As for the technical execution of a painting is applied on a dry plaster, though dampened the night before executing the painting with lime. The colors are mixed with this water or lime; technique actually simpler and less complicated than the cool, although it becomes less solid.


intervention
The work is now half hidden by a layer of lime, while noting that, probably, there are several layers of polychromy, as should be determined in future stratigraphic analysis. The main objective of the intervention that bear Caja Badajoz will retrieve the unit potential and original aesthetic quality of the work, without obscuring the avatars through the passage of time have affected her. Of priority, shall address the conservation of the same safeguarding its deterioration.
In the restoration work is precedence reversibility and differentiation of the original materials and additives. Components are to be elected, being compatible with the primitive, are different in nature. In the case of chromatic reintegration gaps polychrome readable by choosing a method, such as Italian or ink rigattino that integrate visually neutral, and as a watercolor technique is used with the reversibility and stability. The other premise
restoration will guide the work towards long-term conservation of the mural, which also involve minimal intervention on a regular basis to ensure its maintenance.
