Follow the two-year-long conservation treatment of the “Madonna and Child with Saints“ altarpiece (1454) by Giovanni di Paolo, which hadn’t been treated since it came into The Met collection in 1932. Watch the conservators as they remove discolored varnish, old overpaints, overgildings, and reconstructions, retouch paint losses and ingild abrasions, and replace missing and damaged frame elements. The treated altarpiece is now on view in Gallery 624 in the recently reopened European Paintings galleries.
Featuring: Michael Gallagher, Sherman Fairchild Chairman of Paintings Conservation, and Cynthia Moyer, Associate Conservator, Paintings Conservation, and Evan Read, Manager of Technical Documentation, Paintings Conservation.
