Nearly 100,000 euros to restore the wall paintings of the Convent of San Francisco de Lorca (12/07/2016)

The Governing Council has authorized the Ministry of Culture and Spokesperson to grant 97,301 euros to the Paso Azul de Lorca Foundation for the recovery and value of the wall paintings of the Convent of San Francisco in Lorca.

In particular, carry out the restoration of the paintings that were discovered by examining the cracks and flaws that caused the earthquakes in May 2011, a series of frescoes which are a very important part for its cultural, historical, artistic and documentary value of the building.

On the second floor of the cloister were traces of paint in a cabin now called 'monk's room'.

Among them is the figure a Franciscan friar surrounded by vegetable elements.

Also in this second plant an image appeared, seemingly out of context, of a soldier viewed from the front and face in profile, which looks uniform Infantry Regiment time of the War of Independence (1808-1814).

In the so-called cloister of Our Lady of Lourdes, in one of the corridors, and in the call Carrerón have located numerous remains of mural painting, tempera simple in dark tones and sgraffito, where the details of leaves, acanthus leaves and fleshy roleos architectural motifs and cartouches with seraphic sentences or maxims, with reference to the miracles of San Antonio de Padua or St. Francis of Assisi meet.

Along with the Carrerón, it has carried out the spatial revaluation of the architectural remains confined in one of the corridors of the cloister, but on the wall shared with the church.

In this place will value the remains of a gate and an altar -Restoration Reglar and pictorial and artistic recovery of altars, shield, mouth of hornacina-.

This action is part of the Master Plan for the recovery of cultural heritage of Lorca.
