 | | Dear reader,
Please accept this invitation to the next Picture Meeting to be held on Friday the 1st of November 2019. The meeting will take place at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) in Amersfoort.
The annual Picture Meeting is a platform for discussion and networking for conservators of painted objects, conservation scientists and art historians. The meeting is an opportunity to meet your peers and to share recent developments in thinking and practical approaches in conservation and conservation practice. Anyone involved, including students, in the research and care of painted objects is welcome!
The program for this meeting will focus on a variety of subjects from the history of technical studies on the cleaning of paintings, via formulation of 19th Century paints, to early uses of synthetic varnishes by Dutch leading conservators. Recent research and restoration projects on historic interiors, Van Gogh, Monet and Chagall will be presented.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 1st !
Kind regards,
Klaas Jan van den Berg
Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) / University of Amsterdam
