The Städel Museum in Frankfurt have posted a blog about a recently upgraded Sassoferrato in their collection. The Maria Immaculata in the picture above had been languishing in the museum's storerooms for decades until it was decided that the painting should be cleaned. The blog contains lots of interesting details regarding the painter's studio process and examines other known versions of the picture.
