Public donations bring Old Masters back to
life
Dulwich’s display called Desperately Seeking Conservation has
resulted in two paintings being adopted for conservation – and more
than a thousand pounds was put into the contributions box in the
exhibition room. The paintings that were adopted are Portrait
of a Young Woman (Italian School), which was adopted at a cost of
£8,500 and Musicians, by Mathieu Le Nain, which was
£7,200. The Friends are still
fundraising for St Cecilia and have raised over £12,500 so far
out of the £18,000 needed to conserve this very damaged
painting.
