Francesco Salviati - Rome
In 1532, Francesco Salviati painted the panel of the Annunciation above the Annunciation Altar in the church of San Francesco a Ripa in Rome.
The panel which suffered from scattered paint lifting along the joints of the boards and a uniformly faded varninsh layer following previous interventions that had changed the color of the panel, was restored on the occasion of the exhibition “Francesco Salviati o la Bella Maniera”, which was held at the Villa Medici in Rome.
The restoration was conducted on the painted surface and on the wooden support.
