Anatomy of Lucas Cranach’s Adam and Eve: A Case Study in Conservation
A recent conservation project was undertaken to clean and study two Adam and Eve paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder, part of the extensive collection at the Norton Simon Museum of Art in Pasadena. The ambitious and painstaking restoration, which took over two-and-a-half years, provided scholars and experts with a rare opportunity to investigate how Cranach produced such large panel paintings and the technique behind his sinuous painting style.
In this program the experts involved in the multi-year conservation project will discuss the fascinating challenges they faced and their solutions, along with the surprising findings that reveal how this leading Renaissance painter created his life-size images.
The conversation will take place in two parts: conservators and curators will focus on the first phase of the project, cleaning Adam and Eve, and share insights into Cranach’s painting technique.
Following a refreshments break, specialists in wood panel conservation, and conservation scientists from the Getty Conservation Institute, will discuss the intricate structural restoration and highlights from the scientific study.
After the presentation, speakers will be on hand in the exhibition hall to answer questions. This program complements the exhibition Conserving Eden: Cranach’s Adam and Eve from the Norton Simon Museum of Art on view in the Museum (North Pavilion: Gallery N204) from January 23 – April 21, 2024.
