Times of Malta have published an extensive article regarding the recent conservation and restoration of a panel painting of John the Baptist attributed to the Sicilian painter Tommaso de Vigilia (active Palermo 1444-1497). The work, kept in the Mdina Cathedral Museum, is a fragment of a much larger piece that was dismembered after a disastrous earthquake which hit the island in 1693. This delicate restoration project was undertaken by conservator Amy Sciberras.
