I'm a little slow to the news that the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego have recently conserved a large painting by François Boucher. The conservation project on the artist's Lovers in a Park was made possible due to a $1m grant from the Paull Mellon Foundation, which includes a wider project to broaden the museum's conservation work. Have a look at the museum's Instagram page to see before and after shots, including a video of the varnish removal.
