LTProfesionalus sienų tapybos restauravimas ir su tuo susiję tyrimai Lietuvoje atliekami jau daugiau nei 50 metų. Kiekvienas dešimtmetis atneša naujovių tiek restauratorių darbo kokybės ir pobūdžio, tiek ir šios profesijos santykio su visuomene srityse. Net gana siauros sienų tapybos tyrimų ir restauravimo srities apžvalga gali parodyti ryškiausias paveldosaugos ir restauravimo raidos tendencijas, atskleidžiančias kultūros paveldo reikšmės kaitą ir tam tikras kultūros ir architektūros politikos problemas. Straipsnyje aptariamas bendras, vietomis gal kiek fragmentiškas sienų tapybos restauratorių veiklos ir jų darbo refleksijų dešimtmečio vaizdinys, aprėpiantis bent kelias skirtingas temas - mokslinius tyrimus apie sienų tapybą ir jos restauravimą, bendrą medijų konstruojamą požiūrį į sienų tapybą kaip paveldo dalį, galiausiai, pačių sienų tapybos restauratorių ryškiausius pasiekimus ir būdingiausias problemas.

ENProfessional restoration of wall paintings and related research has been carried out in Lithuania for more than 50 years. Each decade brings innovations both in the quality and nature of the work of restorers and in these professional relations with the public. Even a relatively narrow overview of the field of wall painting research and restoration can show the most striking trends in the development of heritage protection and restoration, revealing the meanings of cultural heritage and certain problems of cultural and architectural policy. The article discusses the general, and at the same time fragmentary visual material of the decade of wall painting restorers’ activities and reflections on their work, covering several different topics - research of the wall painting and its restoration problems, general approach to the wall paintings and the main achievements and problems. The public is still poorly informed about the restoration of wall paintings and the work of restorers, but it should be noted that there are more and more sincere patrons of heritage seeking to restore the objects in quite poor condition. The examples show that sometimes belief in the value of cultural heritage overcomes the difficult network of investing in nearly destroyed and much-needed objects. [From the publication]The second decade of the 21th century has been quite significant for Lithuanian wall painters. On the one hand, to the cultural heritage projects of the European Union and other international funds, which allowed the restoration of the most important cultural objects. During the decade, the many valuable wall paintings from the 15th to the 20th century, from Gothic painting to examples of Soviet art, has been researched, restored and preserved in Lithuania. While the problem remains - building contractors work with certified restorers, who often become dependent on the will of the contractors and their different wall painting restoration services - there are positive moments, as the public and scholars’ interest in wall painting restoration and preservation is growing.
