Sažetak
The author of the painting is unknown. It is dated to the 17th century. Originally, the painting used to be on the altar of the church of Saints Cosmas and Damian in the village of Knežica in the vicinity of Dubrovnik. The church of Saints Cosmas and Damian was devastated during the Russo-Montenegrin plundering and attempted conquest of Dubrovnik in 1806. The painting was restored but later a new painting was commissioned in 1906. The original image was stored. It was decided in 2016 to restore the old painting and return it to the altarpiece. After the works began, something unexpected and previously unnoticed was discovered. The painting contains hidden subliminal images inappropriate for an altar in front of which people kneel and pray. The question arose, what could be done to make the presentation of the picture acceptable from a Christian and from a conservation perspective?
