Notify me about this case

The Fiesole Altarpiece returned to San Domenico after a two-year conservation project. Infrared imaging revealed Fra Angelico’s original design for a throne beneath changes made by Lorenzo di Credi in 1501. Conservators also stabilized the wooden support and treated cracks in the painted surface.
