Abstract
The background of the article is the Restoration Theory as a general concept. Despite this, the content does not focus on what traditionally are the themes of modern Restoration Theory, but rather explores other, apparently alien issues. Implicit in the text is the idea that the theory is fed (or should, at least) of explorations and reflections drawn from various fields, in the belief that the theoretical effort involves maturity of criteria that, in turn, can only be achieved with a vision panoramic of the realities under study. Two of the issues dealt with here, and which have a place in a general theory on restoration, are the concept of style in art and that of forgery.
