The article provides information about a unique database of stuccowork that originated in the Czech Republic during
the Renaissance and Mannerist periods between 1550 and 1620 and was created as part of a recently concluded project (https://stuky.upce.cz/). The project’s main goal was a complex processing of this topic, which is undervalued both from the standpoint of monument conservation and artisanal practice. The database of stuccowork
was one of the main results of the project, which was intended to create a foundation for a synthetic art history and technological analysis of the development of the art of stucco in our territory and its incorporation into the Central European context. The database collects information from source and literature research, old restoration, and the results of current research. The drawings are supplemented by extensive photo documentation.
