Gosh, it seems that Spanish museums have been rather busy with conservation projects over the past few months!

The Patrimonio Nacional, under which the Spanish State's Palaces are administered, has recently conserved a painting by José de Ribera (1591-1652). The Liberation of Saint Peter is part of the art collection kept in the Royal Palace in Madrid. Conservation has uncovered the artist's signature and a possible date of 1631 or 1634. A pentimento of the angel's left arm has also been revealed, 

The organisation have published some interesting videos concerning the restoration on their Twitter page.
