La création de la collection de peintures murales du musée des Monuments français

A meticulously curated collection of over 350 mural paintings, primarily created between 1937 and 1976, showcases the precision and fidelity of reproduction techniques used by a select group of fresco painters. The collection, housed in the Musée des Monuments français, stands out for its commitment to replicating original works at full scale (1:1) and in three-dimensional form for well-preserved structures, including the renowned vault of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe in Vienne. This approach, overseen by Paul Deschamps, ensures that the reproductions closely mirror their historical counterparts, providing an unprecedented resource for studying and preserving architectural heritage.
