The Getty and Norton Simon Museum have partnered up for an interesting conservation project. In particular, the J. Paul Getty Museum’s conservation department has just conserved two paintings of Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder, two pictures which are from the Norton Simon Museum. Regular art followers will remember that the pair had been claimed by the Goudstikker heir Marei von Saher, a legal claim which was rejected by a US court in 2018.
The accompanying exhibition to highlight the work, entitled Conserving Eden, will run at the Getty from 23rd January until 21st April 2024.
