フィラデルフィア美術館さんのインスタグラム動画 - (フィラデルフィア美術館Instagram)「Once the old restoration materials were removed from “The Great Bathers,” conservators addressed the painting’s structural problems, foremost the distortions (known as “cupping”) seen by raking light in a previous post. @philamuseum conservator Kristin Patterson and Mary McGinn, Conservator at the @pafacademy, used a specialized table at PAFA to gradually return the painting to a level state. To assure that the cupping would not return and to prevent further cracking, they then attached the canvas to a new secondary support. This video shows the conservators feeding an adhesive into open cracks to ensure the attachment of paint to canvas. Follow along as we reveal new insights from the process of researching, analyzing, and conserving Renoir’s “The Great Bathers,” now on view in The #ImpressionistsEye. #RenoirConservation • Kristin Patterson, The Joan and John Thalheimer Associate Conservator of Paintings, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Mary McGinn, Conservator, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, work on the structural treatment of “The Great Bathers” at PAFA.
