Studies in the History of
Painting Restoration
Edited by Christine Sitwell
and Sarah Staniforth
ISBN:1-873132-46-8 • 1998 • $55 • Paper
Published information about the restoration of paintings prior to the twentieth century has been very limited despite the fat that extensive documentation exists in the archives of royal, public and private collections throughout Europe. This book reveals an interesting and detailed account of the materials and methods used, the interaction between restorer, curator and collector and the different philosophical approaches towards restoration and the care of paintings.
