Baroque fresco in Červená Lhota castle visible again after centuries

The early Baroque fresco in the dining room of the Červená Lhota castle has been restored after centuries of being hidden under layers of paint, Czech Radio reported on Sunday. In the past, the fresco extended over one entire wing of the building and decorated the main social hall, but roughly two-thirds were destroyed during later construction and only a small part in the current dining room survived. Since the fresco was no longer whole, the later owners had it painted over. Restorers have been recovering it from under the layers of paint for the past five years. Now the fresco can once again be admired by visitors.
