cleaned up.

As some of you may know, I am a big fan of Zurbarán. The Frick created a page about his 1633 painting Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose and its recent cleaning on the occasion of its upcoming exhibition there—it’s on loan there from the Norton Simon as part of an exchange program between the two museums as well as the National Gallery. The restoration reveals so much that laid buried under layers of dirt and previous repairs. To see the page click on through.

P.S. February 16th is the last day to see the National Gallery’s A Lady Writing by Vermeer at the Norton Simon.
