Designed by Andrea Palladio in the classical renaissance style, the church has been a popular subject for many well-known artists, including JMW Turner, Claude Monet and Arthur Streeton. Though the artist of this particular painting is unknown, its composition is the same as a view of this church by Canaletto, the renowned landscape painter of Venice.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-capitalize-first-character field-name-field-capitalize-first-character field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Yes</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--line-of-photos paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-images field-name-field-images field-type-image field-label-hidden LimitWidth"><div class="ParagraphLineOfPhotos_item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/2020-06/1903-P3-BT-large.jpg" width="378" height="252" alt="Before treatment: ‘Church of S Giorgio Maggiore, Venice’" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div><div class="ParagraphLineOfPhotos_item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/2020-06/actual-site.jpg" width="378" height="252" alt="Church of San Giorgio Maggiore / actual site" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div></div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-legend-on-left field-name-field-legend-on-left field-type-text-long field-label-hidden LimitWidth"><div class="ParagraphLineOfPhotos_item"><p>(L) Before treatment: ‘Church of S Giorgio Maggiore, Venice’.

This is one of the first analytical techniques available to the conservator and involves the use of different wavelengths to gather information about the various layers present. Visible light is used to document the painting before treatment. This inspection highlighted the discoloured retouchings present in the work, as well as a slightly darkened and soiled varnish layer. Ultraviolet (UV) light causes aged varnish layers to fluoresce, and can detect any missing areas as well as later overpaint. In this case, purple patches in the sky revealed the extent of previous restorations.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--large-image-and-legend paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-large-image field-name-field-large-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/blog/1908-BT-ultraviolet-light-damage-retouching.jpg" width="1000" height="667" alt="Painting under UV light, showing fluorescent varnish layer with losses and old retouchings." typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-image-legend-2 field-name-field-image-legend-2 field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>Painting under UV light, showing fluorescent varnish layer with losses and old retouchings.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-show-legend-on-righ-side-d field-name-field-show-legend-on-righ-side-d field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Off</div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-show-legend-on-bottom field-name-field-show-legend-on-bottom field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">On</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-text-content field-name-field-text-content field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>Following these discoveries, Infrared Reflectography (IRR) was undertaken. IRR is a similar process to UV analysis, but penetrates below the paint surface and requires a special camera to capture the reflected details. An Indium-Gallium-Arsenide (InGaAs) detector within a camera array is attached to a laptop for live capture. This technology is able to detect the presence of carbon beneath paint layers and can thus make underlying images visible. In this case, beneath the Venetian landscape, the outline of a face could be seen below the left-hand side of the church.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--large-image-and-legend paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-large-image field-name-field-large-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/blog/1908_P3%20infrared%20detail%20of%20face.jpg" width="429" height="342" alt="infrared detail of painting" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-image-legend-2 field-name-field-image-legend-2 field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>Infrared reflectography detail of the church and belltower.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-show-legend-on-righ-side-d field-name-field-show-legend-on-righ-side-d field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Off</div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-show-legend-on-bottom field-name-field-show-legend-on-bottom field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Off</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--large-image-and-legend paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-large-image field-name-field-large-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/blog/1908-P3-Xray-from-RPH.jpg" width="1000" height="598" alt="X-ray from Royal Perth Hospital, revealing the underlying stretcher and nails, as well as the faint image of a lady and parrot." typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-image-legend-2 field-name-field-image-legend-2 field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>X-ray from Royal Perth Hospital, revealing the underlying stretcher and nails, as well as the faint image of a lady and parrot.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-show-legend-on-righ-side-d field-name-field-show-legend-on-righ-side-d field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Off</div> </div> </div> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-show-legend-on-bottom field-name-field-show-legend-on-bottom field-type-boolean field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">On</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-paragraph--field-text-content field-name-field-text-content field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>To get higher resolution details of the whole painting, it was decided that the work be taken off-site to X-ray facilities at Royal Perth Hospital radiology department where a surprise awaited.
