500-year-old panel painting

The Art Newspaper can reveal that a 500-year-old panel painting by Domenico Beccafumi of Marcia was broken in half Carmelo Anthony Kids Jersey , in one of the most serious handling accidents known to have occurred in a UK museum in living memory. This happened during deinstallation of the ?Renaissance Siena? exhibition, which closed on 13 January.

Marcia was being removed from the wall in the Sainsbury Wing exhibition galleries when it slipped out of its temporary frame and dropped to the ground.

Although conservation at the National Gallery is normally only done after approval of the trustees Tim Hardaway Jr. Youth Jersey , remedial work was deemed urgent, in order to avoid further damage. Chairman Peter Scott was immediately informed and gave his authorisation.

The two sections were fixed back together and loose paint was stabilised. Inevitably, there were paint losses where the planks had parted Enes Kanter Youth Jersey , and these appear to have extended for up to a centimetre around the area of the vertical break. This area was retouched.
