Quick Summary

Marouflage is a technique used in art restoration to attach a canvas painting to a rigid support, such as a wall or panel. This process involves using an adhesive to secure the canvas, providing it with added stability. It is a method employed when a canvas painting needs reinforcement or to be transferred to a more stable backing.12
