Rescue & Restoration Image Gallery

 

In 1984, the Menil Foundation acquired two Byzantine frescoes on behalf of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus, which had been looted from their original home in a chapel at Lysi, Cyprus and dismantled into 38 pieces. These images depict the votive chapel at Lysi, as well as the frescoes as they were when acquired in 1984 and the subsequent restoration process.
