Restoring Masterpieces

Throughout the year, works in the collection that need cleaning and repair are identified and transported to the conservator for treatment. The聽university聽continues to retain an excellent working relation with , an independent conservator who works on oil and acrylic paintings in Chicago.

In 2007, Barn Interior by Egbert van der Poel was sent for cleaning. While Bauman was working on the scene of a woman and child inside a barn he uncovered a flayed pig-a butchered and stretched pig-hanging upside down from a ladder. This discovery gave the painting a new focus and clarified the composition. In addition, the discovery of a signature and date authenticated the work and helped complete a remarkable story.
