Resumen

This research shows the application of neodymium magnets in the conservation/restoration of paint on canvas, establishing minimal intervention as the main criterion. In an innovative way and with the aim of respecting the authenticity of the original, a new tool has been designed consisting of an internal auxiliary frame equipped with a magnetic system (IAFMS). Its use contributes to facilitating and improving the operation during some procedures, such as thread-by-thread sutures, textile intarsia, and thread-bridge reinforcement
