C2RMF (Center And Search Restoration Musées De France) have published an article on the recent restoration of Van Dyck's Charles I à la chasse. The article features a brief history of the various campaigns of restoration in the past, followed by some nice zoomable images.

As it happens, I was lecturing in Paris this week and was blown away by the freshness of the colours. What a striking difference compared to its appearance in the RA's Charles I exhib back in 2017.
