I'm glad to see the British Museum has embarked on a programme of conservation for their large Michelangelo cartoon, 'Epifania', so that it can go back on display in 2024. The drawing is one of only two surviving Michelangelo cartoons, and should by rights be almost as famous in Britain as Leonardo's 'Burlington Cartoon' in the National Gallery. More here.
