Some of the most representative Portuguese monuments with painting collections dating from the XV and XVI centuries are located in the municipality of Tarouca, in Viseu district, south region of Douro valley. One of the most important specimen is the wall painting of Ressureicao, in the arcosolium of Sao Pedro de Tarouca Parochial´s church. This wallpainting stands out by its singularity and rarity, since there is only a few specimens in the region chronologically related. A laboratorial approach was conducted, simultaneously, with the conservation and restoration work. The intervention brought to light unknown aspects of this artwork, namely its Mannerist style, hidden by a total repainting. Some aspects of its chronological and stylistic contexts are discussed, as well the materials employed (pigments – Naples yellow). Accordingly, the analytical conclusions, the methodological details and the iconographic changes are also presented.
