Vatican Museums launches “Museums at Work” initiative
(Vatican Radio) The Vatican Museums have launched a
new scientific-cultural initiative entitled “Museums at Work” to show visitors
the process of restoring a work of art.
Taking place over the coming months in Room XVII of the
Vatican Pinacoteca, the “Museums at Work” programme seeks to show the public
“the everyday activities of the Pope’s Museums”.
The initiative presents the restoration of the triptych of
“The Virgin bestows her belt to Saint Thomas, The Mass of Saint Gregory, and
Saint Jerome Penitent” (1497) by Viterbo Antonio del Massaro.
The Vatican Museums’ website says the triptych is “a painting
possibly destined for an important Roman monastic community with strong
doctrinal interests and particular devotion to the Virgin and to the Fathers of
the Church.”
Restoration efforts for the triptych were financed by the
Pennsylvania Chapter of the Patrons of the Arts.
