Wood Statue & Canvas Restoration

Wood Statue & Canvas Restoration



Details

Participants will be introduced to examples of 17th to 19th centuries wood statues and paintings that are unique to the history of the Altamurgia region. Most of the artworks selected for the program are religious subjects. While the authors themselves are not very well known, the patronage they recieved from nobilty and church congregations, inculcated with a strong devotional culture, allowed them to create works of notable atistry.
Part of these artworks are still carried in religious processions.
