Marvelous presentation.

Thank you so much for this very interesting insight into the restoration process of Pesellino’s masterpiece!

[@a.kaiser8965]

I really don't think anyone/museum can match this quality of restoration. I mean.. just marvelous. Just even the quality and the importance of the works they conserve/restore is just unmatched.

[@nationalgallery]

An honour to be able to restore these beautiful works.

[@barbarajohnson1442]

Excellent. Restoration is such a creative process, actually. The decision making on how to best carry the image forward, maybe necessitating an upgrade in materials to better enhance the longevity of the visual idea

Did Pesellino have assistans for help? How long did it take to create such a beauty?

[@stevie-ray2020]

Fascinating insight into the skills of this sadly short-lived master!

[@franciscomaturana4174]

It has a resemblance to The Battle of San Romano painted by Paolo Ucello. Is there any document or research where a comparison between the two artists is discussed?

[@sacredkinetics.lns.8352]

👽 Thanks for the educational moment. Your well appreciated mission of preserving historical art. Love you guys.

It occurs to me that if I stuck gold leaf down onto bees waxed paper, then cut shapes from the paper. Stuck the paper gold side down onto the picture surface. Then later use a mildly hot iron to melt the bees wax so the paper can be removed but leaving the gold leaf. That might work. And maybe that's what they did.

I just finally read the DaVinci Code and the Medici family was mentioned. 😳 At least I'm learning...?

[@marileestetson737]

I enjoyed the restoration. What a magnificent piece of history. I do wish however, you would show the entire restoration process. I know it takes a long time, but the restoration process itself is fascinating and educational. I truly loved the narrative and historic information.🥰

[@nationalgallery]

We do try and track the whole process! But it often gets split across a few videos. As you say - it takes a long time.

[@tsvetomilivanov7618]

Beautiful but maybe he cut the small gold pieces just to save materials? :)

[@splodge57]

I know paintings can look beautiful after restoration but can they be over restored? The marks from keys and childrens scratches tell a story about the life of the picture.
