| description | The Inventory services in the Midi-Pyrénées region has surveyed the mural paintings of the region, establishing a corpus of works dating from the Romanesque period up to the eighteenth century. This corpus allows for comparative studies of these paintings in terms of their importance and their quality. It has also allowed for certain significant but little-known works to be properly identified and understood, for example the painted decor of the chapel of Castillon-en-Couserans, in the Ariège department, dating from the late thirteenth century. Another essential contributions of this survey is to permit comparisons with works in other regions, for example on the precise theme of the ‘Sayings of the three dead and the three living’. In the field, this inventory was accompanied by an evaluation of the state of the decors today. More than half of them require urgent restoration or ‘de-restoration’ work, since doctrines here have evolved towards less heavy-handed interventions. |
