St. Petersburg: Herm, 2017. Sewn bp. This Hermitage exhibition catalogue shows how during two years in the Hermitage's conservation laboratory a masterpiece by Caravaggio The Lute Player became much truer to the artist's actual style. Contemporary technology used to examine and restore the painting not only resulted in a truer canvas, but provided new insights into the painter's technique. Illustrations show details of the painting before restoration and after, magnified photos revealing what the naked the eye cannot see, and technical images quantify the restoration process. 107 p., 27 cm, approx. 70 color illus., Rus. with title page and summary in ENGLISH.
