Our genius conservation team recently helped to restore a 500-year-old painting so that it can live on for future generations to behold. 💛 The painting was made by Italian Renaissance artist Raphael's mentor: Pietro Perugino. Over its long history, it had suffered some damage to its wooden support and paint. These damages had been repaired by restorers in the past. Yet, the varnish had started to become dark and yellow, making the sky appear a greenish blue. #shorts After more than a year of work removing discolored varnish and carefully filling in lost areas of paint, the final restoration reveals the artist's original, vivid colors. #renaissance #pope #madonna #art #painting #shorts #painting #restoration #satisfying #beforeandafter #artoftheday #conservation #artwork #science #shorts
