Restoring Guido Reni's 'Aurora' Fresco

Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
Italy's Il Giornale dell'Arte have published an interesting interview with the conservators of Guido Reni's frescos in the Casino di Scipione Borghese, Rome. The delicate conservation of Reni's Aurora, located in a building which remains in private hands, was undertaken by Laura Cibrario and Fabiola Jatta. It seems that the wall paintings have a long and complicated history of conservation, having been treated every half century since 1850. The piece is well worth a read.
