Bottom Right Corner

During the team's research rip in Rome, generous colleagues provided high-resolution images of several paintings and frescoes located in and around Rome that are associated with Pietro da Cortona and his workshop. These photos served as important reference images during the reintegration of the large loss in the bottom right corner.

Applying Reversible Paints to Losses

The team began to work intensively on the losses throughout the upper section of the painting, namely areas in the sky and architecture. Extremely small brushes are used to carefully mix and apply the reversible, stable conservation paints to areas of loss and abrasion.<br/><br/>(Pictured Here: Project leader Kristin deGhetaldi and intern Katie Rovito)
