More exciting conservation news (it must be the season for it, I suppose!) that the Portland Museum of Art have conserved their Waterlilies (1914-15) by Claude Monet. As you can see, the return of those fresh colours (which appeared incredibly dull before) makes absolutely all the difference.

The freshly cleaned painting will be a part of a new display at the museum, focusing on the conservation project, which opens tomorrow (1st March) and runs until 10th August 2025.
