Abstract
The work object of study is an altarpiece that comes from the old Convent of San Francisco, current parish church of San Esteban Protomártir in San Esteban de Gormaz, Soria. Dated in 1628, it was built in one of the most important Castilian workshops in the diocese of Osma-Soria. It is a very distinctive case, since in 1985 it was dismantled and transferred to a hermitage in the same town in Sanestebeña after the appearance of some wall paintings behind the polychrome wooden altarpiece in relation to the holy founder of the Order, these being one of the few examples of pictorial altarpieces that are preserved.
Through a set of physical and stylistic studies, the work has been contextualized and, applying a series of analytical examinations that have made it possible to carry out an in-depth etiological study, the most appropriate intervention proposal has been established among a range of possibilities. the needs of the work.
Knowing the impossibility of a close intervention, the proposed tasks are intended to complement the intervention proposal by providing an innovative point of view. This cultural asset is a great example on which to apply new technologies through digital photogrammetry techniques and three-dimensional modeling through different softwares. By executing virtual restoration and reconstruction works of both the environment and the work, an attempt at visual recovery and the potential unit can be carried out without reaching forgery.
Regarding virtual restoration, the decision was finally made to carry out a 3D model fully manually, a complex decision that in our opinion has allowed us to obtain optimal results, improving the most optimistic expectations.
