- Résumé
- "The Marina Cave Wall paintings are located near Qalamoun, Northern Lebanon, and consist of five panels dating between the 12th and 13th century C.E. The panels represent religious themes including the life of Saint Marina and the Monk, a local saint from the region. The paintings are situated in a mountain recess overlooking Qalamoun and in the last few decades, have severely degraded due to fire, fluctuating relative humidity and vandalism. In the winter of 2015 a former student of the conservation program at Queen's University, Corine Soueid, brought samples from the Marina Cave wall paintings to the program. Students analyzed cross sections from the wall paintings in the context of their microscopy class. The following study is a continuation of the project, with the aim of determining the primary material and structural differences between the panels. This was achieved using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). This study contributes to the growing body of literature on Near-Eastern Wall painting materials and techniques of the Middle Ages."
