cyberiqro The restoration of a painting titled “Virgin of the Rocks” succeeded in revealing the details of which have been difficult to see the invisible. Restoration was also shown that these paintings are made by the maestro, Leonardo da Vinci, without the help of his assistant, as is often alleged.
Managers according to the National Gallery museum in London, England, Wednesday, July 14, 2010. The museum is mobilizing a team to restore the painting of the Virgin of the Rocks, which took over 18 months.
The restoration was among clean varnish layer on a painting whose quality has been much reduced since the last redeveloped in the late decades of the 1940s that made the painting appear blurry.
Cleaning up the old varnish that allows the experts to look more closely at the original scratches da Vinci through the brush. Cleaning revealed da Vinci’s painting style, especially in those parts of the dark. This gives the impression that da Vinci made the typical scratches on the picture rocks. Restoration was also asserted that da Vinci’s painting apparently was alone and deliberately make it not finished.
Refurbishment projects show the existence of ex-hand sketches drawings of angels on the head until the picture the main characters in the painting. This is consistent with da Vinci’s works of others.
Known as the “true perfectionist,” da Vinci painting was allegedly left in a state that has not been completed because the time he hoped to finish it at another time. Thus said museum spokesman, Thomas Almeroth-Williams.
In the past, scholars believe that da Vinci was aided by several assistants while working on the Virgin of the Rocks. This is based on the assumption of a stroke-stroke that looked different.
The painting was allegedly made between 1491 until 1508. In 2005, using infrared technology, the experts found two forms of sketch hidden underneath the surface of the painting. Form that one is never painted, while others reveal that da Vinci changed his mind many times on the subject that he wants a picture.
Once restored, the painting back on display since last Wednesday at the National Gallery
