Description
Summary:The Comité des Arts et Monuments established by F. Guizot in 1835 played an essential role in the valuation of the wall-painting in France, domain of researches still stammering in the first third party of this archaeological, romantic and polychromatic XIXth century. It receives from its correspondents plenty of documents on the wall paintings which are discovered. Their presentations in sessions are the occasion of heated, often lively, sometimes anti-authority debates on the problems of restoration, methods of wall-cleaning, debates around the new decorations or around iconographic confusions. The Bulletin archéologique, as for it, becomes the forum which denounces, testifies and recommends. The committee, herald of lost causes with the other actors of the Central power, has gradually competition from the Commission des Monuments historiques.
