Restorations

Lotto’s works can now be appreciated in their full glory thanks to new scientific analyses and a thorough restoration process carried out in collaboration with the Sovrintendenze (regional boards of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage). Any works deemed in need of restoration received it- regardless of whether they were included in the exhibition or not- and this entailed intervention in some dramatic situations of deterioration, as demonstrated in the study and restoration catalogs currently being published by Silvana Editoriale for the various territories.
The restoration was made possible by the support of BNL Paribas for 13 works, as well as Enel, whose support allowed for the restoration of the monumental Recanati Polyptych, one of the most significant works in Lorenzo Lotto’s artistic career. Thanks to Enel, the complex restoration of the Polyptych will continue during the exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale: the restoration will take place on-site and be visible to the public, both live and through the internet. For 100 days everyone will be able to share in this unique experience -a mix of science, art and technology- and watch as day-by-day vivid colors, light, and folds of cloth remerge from beneath half a millennium of dust. The works in Lombardy were studied and restored with the support of the Fondazione del Credito Bergamasco.
