Masterpiece restoration: return of a 17th-century painting
After two years of restoration, the museum returns a rare Dutch landscape to display.
Khanenko Museum completed a two-year restoration of a 17th-century Dutch landscape. The painting required complex intervention: reinforcing the base, removing later overpaint, and restoring the original varnish. Restorers discovered original colors beneath later varnish layers, significantly changing the work's perception. The painting returned to the permanent European art gallery.
