Abstract
This article tries to offer a vision of the development that shows the profile of the restorer in the institutional Spanish field from the beginning of 19th century until 1920. In order to do this, the consulted correspondence of the main Museums and Royal Academies of Fine Arts of the cities of Madrid and Seville are taken as reference. The reason lies in the high historical importance that both main cities have assumed on a national scale in the process of gestation and consolidation of the restoration and the dissemination of arts. The results of this study allow the understanding of the existing professional relations in different spatial and institutional contexts. These have promoted the figure of the restorer and have determined the progressive advance to a more scientific and specialised consideration.
