The Louvre's recent campaigns of painting conservation are moving on apace. The video above provides some details of the recent conservation of Titian's The Entombment of Christ which was recently treated by C2RMF (Centre for Research and Restoration of Museums of France). Click here to see some photos of how the painting looked previously (scrolling backwards through the photos). It's a good job that the unsightly canvas extension on the upper margin is hidden by the frame!
