PAINTINGS CONSERVATION SERIES
We would like to draw your attention to the first 4 of 6 publications in the ‘Paintings Conservation Series’ about the conservation of paintings on canvas and panel. The publications are made for professional restorers who want to stay informed about the current knowledge and about the application of new techniques that are used in their field. The content is intended as a snapshot of up-to-date developments and should not replace academic training in the field of painting conservation.
Conservation practice has developed at an astounding pace. This knowledge is often concentrated at a few large institutions with the capabilities to take major steps in the development and application of new methods. For those not employed at large institutions, accessing such knowledge can be difficult. These brochures are designed to bridge this gap and they can also help conservators seeking to refresh and update their knowledge.The need for this reference material became apparent during a series of masterclasses and conferences organized by the Foundation for Cultural Inventory (SCI) in India, the Russian Federation and elsewhere, in association with SRAL – The Conservation Institute, the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and Dutch embassies in the partner countries. These gatherings, centring on mutual exchange and deepening knowledge in relation to the local contexts, were held under the auspices of the Shared Cultural Heritage programme.
