They are lost, but holes in the canvas indicate the position of the crowns. During the recent restoration treatment through HCI Dubrovnik, the panel was omitted, the canvas relined and stretched on an oval stretcher. 74 Joseph was the declared patron saint of the Catholic Church by Pope Pius IX in 1870, and Pope Leo XIII promoted the veneration of St Joseph in his encyclica Quamquam pluries in 1889. (Saint Joseph in: Wikipedia 26.5.2024) 75 The filling was done in two steps, with two different filling recipes (base filler, top filler; see 36). 76 Paraloid B72 in 5 % in diacetone alcohol and diluted with ethanol 77 The indication of the verse from Mathew c[apitulum] 25, v[ersus]21 (chapter 25, verse 21) is not reproduced correctly. It is actually verse 23. 78 The distance between the upper edge of the painting and the seam is 76.5 cm, the distance between the seam and the lower edge of the painting is 68 cm. The seam has an overlap of 0,5 cm on each border. Selvedges (weaving edges) exist, making it possible to define the direction of the warp and weft. 79 The thread number/cm is approximately: 13 threads in warp-direction (horizontal) and 13 to 14 threads in weft-direction. 80 Wooden pegs were used for centuries in the Dubrovnik region. 81 It was also possible to control the grade of penetration by altering the painting’s position prior to application of the consolidant. There was little to no staining when applying the consolidants with the painting in a standing vertical position, but the penetration level and therefore the consolidation properties were insufficient. The best consolidation and flattening results were achieved when the hot spatula was used immediately after application of Plextol B500 while the painting was placed in a horizontal position. Plextol B500 was applied on the surface with a brush. Surplus material was taken away by using a paper tissue. After a few minutes, the paint layer was flattened with the aid of a hot spatula placed on top of a Melinex folium. After applying the consolidant in small square
