The Constable Research Project studies John Constable's painting materials and techniques. Technical art history, conservation, art, exhibitions et al.
We re-framed Rembrandt‘s A Woman taken in Adultery today, replacing a 19th century French 18th century style frame with a very fine, newly acquired Dutch 17th century ebony moulding; the light comes out of the painting in the black frame, it transforms the experience
Delighted to at last reveal a major Constable oil study that I have been working on for over a decade. On view @Sothebys#OldMaster sale preview til 5th July #landscape https://t.co/rTpbDkqebD
A fantastic example of the highly impressive work conservators do 🙌

Through the work of conservators, who use scientific analysis to examine the works in their care, exciting new discoveries can be made! Conservator Lesley Stevenson @NatGalleriesSco talks about finding a surprise on the back of 'Head of a Peasant Woman': https://t.co/xO2C3FkKU1

Brilliant news for the Horniman Museum. I spent most weekends and school holidays at the ILEA funded “Childrens Club” between the ages 8-14 so I knew the collections inside out. In 2017 I restored 1 of their Aboriginal dot paintings #MuseumOfTheYear
