| Summary: | Images in Transformation: The Restoration as Reframing Method and Retrieval of the Memory of Images-Study, Conservation and Restoration of Two History Paintings was established as a study of the production of easel painting restoration, focusing on a methodological analysis that addresses the restorable image as a presence that can be activated by treatment of the pictorial layers and support, that make up the painting. Since it is not only matter, but also being characterized by an auratic nature, the image of the painting has a unique and dense body, which is to be seen through immanence. This research aims to prove otherwise to observe and understand the pictorial restoration as a method of reframing the memory of images that were "silenced" by pathological processes and aging, anchoring in a discussion based by theoretical assumptions image studies. After appreciated some theories image of Aby Warburg, Ernst Gombrich, Didi-Huberman and William Mitchel, we present an argument built from the context of the works of art in concrete, which have been restored in the two stages held in Setubal Museum and the Military Museum in Lisbon. The research was based on dialogic discussion with the works and restoration procedures, questioning paradigms as the transformation of the meaning of over time pictures, and the relationship between the recovery of these images as assigning new meaning, recall memory and his presence. It is proposed that the focus centered on the observer as an activator of the pictorial work and imagery, move to the image itself as an agent that communicates through a specific speech, responding to questions put to it, by both the conservator-restorer as the own spectator
