16th Century Wood Panel Restoration Video
June 25, 2009
There is an interesting video clip over at the Art Babble site showing the restoration efforts on a 16th century painting by Sebastiano Mainardi. Click on the image above to go there and view it.
What in particular caught my attention was how they replaced the heavy older bracing with a more effeciently designed wood strainer. Fascinating.
Old bracing removed
New strainer added
