The Museo Prado in Madrid have uploaded this rather eerie video showing the process of conserving and analysing Caravaggio's David with the Head of Goliath. The project was undertaken by the museum's conservator Almudena Sánchez and will feature in a new display drawing attention to the process and findings made throughout.
