The National Gallery in London has shared news on Twitter that Van Dyck's portrait of Abbé Scaglia has been cleaned. The gallery's board of trustees approved the treatment of this painting back in January 2020. It is well worth heading over to the gallery's online catalogue entry where you'll be able to zoom in on the beautiful details of this fine picture.
