Abstract
-
This master’s thesis explores the influence of the substrate on the condition of wall paintings in forts of the Hollandse Waterlinies. Through literature research, site assessments, and comparative analysis, a common condition phenomenon is identified which is in part influenced by the difference in substrates. This thesis also shows that a more general condition assessment in multiple locations is valuable as a first level assessment to inform decision-making on the distribution of limited resources.
