The gory story behind this 16th-century painting: 'The Judgement of Zaleucus' | National Gallery

"Conservator Britta New shows us behind-the-scenes of the conservation and repair of a 16th-century French panel, 'The Judgement of Zaleucus', from the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow.

🎨 What is the National Conservation Programme?

Our National Conservation Programme, which is generously supported by the Aldama Foundation, enables us to research, preserve and enhance important paintings in publicly accessible collections across the country.

The programme means that such collections without the resources to undertake conservation treatments can reach out to the National Gallery to have their works considered for conservation by our team." #AntiqueRestoration
