things turn to be unsolvable and many unsolvable problems can be
solved easier than ever. One of them was the reconstruction of the
fresco though as he assured there were also many difficulties.

The fresco "The birth of Toros Roslin" had impressed the Italian
restorers from the very first moment. Kasameti noticed that they
didn’t had an opportunity to study the works of Minas beforehand they
got acquainted with Minas’ works right here and the problem and the
surprise was because of the colors used.

"We are impressed with the fact that Minas like a naïve painter
has used the synthesis of colors, but in the same time has used such
transparency of colors are characteristic to the great painter", –
said L. Kasametin.
