Summary
The restoration of the Trinity Gate Church's iconostasis at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (1979–1982) revealed previously unknown 18th-century Ukrainian Baroque painting techniques and woodcarving details, advancing knowledge of the region's artistic heritage. The study analyzed pre-restoration conditions, applied scientific conservation principles, and documented methodologies to preserve authenticity while addressing historical alterations. Findings included the identification of original iconography and craftsmanship, contributing new data to art history and informing future preservation efforts for this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
