Video: Restoration: Layer by Layer

From removing old varnish and reweaving tears, to using techniques that minimise canvas distortion… Watch the multi-faceted structural conservation phase, which involves a series of operations geared at giving stability and solidity to each painting layer.

This restoration, featuring art attributed to Violante Siriès  Cerroti, is part of Accademia Women, sponsored by the AWA Legacy Fund, and organised by the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno and Syracuse University in Florence.
