The intimate life of a masterpiece...

11:50 a.m.

Masterpieces undergo restoration...

Victoire de Samotrace - Musée du Louvre
They are constantly studied with new techniques...
Infrarred analysis of The Artist's Studio, by Gustave Courbet (1855)
Musée d'Orsay
They are cleaned
A sculpture by Marc Quin on the gardens of Chastworth House in Derbyshire (England), as part of the exhibit "Beyond limits".
They are washed
One of the 23bronze sculptures by Fernando Botero at the Plaza Botero in Medellín (Colombia). They are annually washed by the staff of the Museo de Antioquía.
But above all, they are enjoyed...
Photographer Lucy Hogg takes pictured of people in museums. In this case, at the marvellous Gemaldegalerie in Berlín, two men contemplate the best version of one of  Tiziano's Venus: Venus with an Organ Player.

This is why, the MNBA has recently allowed taking photos of the paintings... It's a way of "taking" them home with us...
