Christ Tempted by the Devil
John Ritto Penniman
Oil on wood, 1818
Smithsonian American Art Museum
Gift of Mrs. George Viault
Condition: Paint loss and active flaking exposed the bare wood support. There was a discolored varnish layer and surface grime.
Treatment: Areas of loss and flaking paint were infused with adhesive to prevent further loss. Discolored varnish and grime were removed with the appropriate solvents. Paint losses were filled and inpainted. |
