Carpaccio’s Knight

Young Knight in a Landscape by Vittore Carpaccio (c. 1505), one of the museum’s most iconic works, was restored throughout 2020 and part of 2021. The results of the restoration and the technical studies conducted are shown in this video. 

The set is completed by a series of six videos containing the reflections of several members of the Conservation Department team who were involved in the process of restoring. They reveal the lines of action and explain the procedures carried out during restoration: what it consisted of and the importance of interpretation and combining various techniques and analyses in order to draw an overall conclusion and establish a single line of action.
