🎨 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.

Wonderful! i have so much appreciation for professionals like this lovely lady, for their skills passion and knowledge, thanks for sharing.
Great work Britta
Is there a reason why major Art Galleries and museums can't/don't record *more* of the restoration process and show them here to the many, many people who are fascinated by the process?
An amazing beautiful painting, with a wonderful explanation and work. Thank you
I would have a truly hard time conserving that painting. The subject would give me nightmares. Congratulations. I hope you will post a video of the completed restoration.

Thanks so much for the great explanation. Very educational and philanthropic.
the focus on the material history of this particular painting is so important because I think conservations efforts are largely overlooked when appreciating art or studying art history. an incredibly insightful window into such a vital field of art history!
very interesting insights. Thanks a lot
Nicely done Britta!
Lovely work and explanation
Thank you for sharing such fascinating stories😀
Our pleasure, Lucia!
Very interesting. Thank you.

I don’t like even thinking about how awful getting your eye pushed out would have been
👍👍👍
That's fascinating, how you can bring back an old painting that's been so badly mucked about. I was trying to read the central scene, and you said Zaleucus had just had his eye removed, and his son was being dealt with, but I couldn't see that. Is that part of the restoration problem?
