Solved Unseen Passage for Class 10
Oil painting can develop dull patches on otherwise glistening surfaces when fungus attacks the nutrients that it finds in the oil, leaving those areas matt. In a similar fashion, it goes for the fibre that is used to make paper or the natural glues that are adhesives in water-based paints. Fungus also loves the cellulose of canvas cloth and the cellulose that it binds in the stretcher or the wooden frame on which a canvas is stretched. The reverse side of a canvas painting, the stretcher and the ply board that is used behind the paintings of different kinds generally pick up fungus from damp walls as these are the parts of a painting that are in close proximity to the wall. The fungus can then travel inwards of it finds the proper feeding ground. A damp and moist room generally allows the fungus to attack from the front.
