The gory story behind this 16th-century painting: 'The Judgement of Zaleucus' | National Gallery

Conservator Britta New shows us behind-the-scenes of the conservation and repair of a 16th-century French panel, 'The Judgement of Zaleucus', from the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow.
🎨 What is the National Conservation Programme?
Our National Conservation Programme, which is generously supported by the Aldama Foundation, enables us to research, preserve and enhance important paintings in publicly accessible collections across the country.
The programme means that such collections without the resources to undertake conservation treatments can reach out to the National Gallery to have their works considered for conservation by our team.

    Is there a reason why major Art Galleries and museums can't/don't record *more* of the restoration process and show them here to the many, many people who are fascinated by the process?

    the focus on the material history of this particular painting is so important because I think conservations efforts are largely overlooked when appreciating art or studying art history. an incredibly insightful window into such a vital field of art history!

    I would have a truly hard time conserving that painting. The subject would give me nightmares. Congratulations. I hope you will post a video of the completed restoration.

    I don’t like even thinking about how awful getting your eye pushed out would have been

    That's fascinating, how you can bring back an old painting that's been so badly mucked about. I was trying to read the central scene, and you said Zaleucus had just had his eye removed, and his son was being dealt with, but I couldn't see that. Is that part of the restoration problem?
