The next step in its conservation treatment was the retouching of the small paint losses and abrasions caused by less than careful cleanings in the 1930s and 1940s, before the painting entered the museum’s collection. This retouching involved application of specially formulated restoration colors only within areas of paint loss; for this reason, this process is also called ‘inpainting.” The aim of the restoration was to minimize the visually disrupting effects of old damages. The inpainting materials used are stable and will remain easily removable in the future without affecting the original paint layer. 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 • This conservation project and exhibition are supported by Bank of America.」8月8日 3時33分
