Part two, where everything gets put back together.  But of course the painting needs to be cleaned and prepared for retouching.  And back for another appearance it MacGregor to discuss the final painting and some of its history.  Just a warning, there's a pretty gnarly cliffhanger at the end but lucky for you Patreons, you're all good :)

Italian Wedding Part 2 - AD FREE

It's rare that we truly know why an artist created a painting. Over the course of its life a painting history is often lost. We may have a final product but the impetus for its execution may never be understood. Even more rare is when that reason is painted on the front of the canvas as in the case with this Italian wedding portrait. But dating from 1450, is it truly what it portends? In order to answer that question we must first conserve the painting and then discover its mysteries.

Hi Julian, I’ve always been a great enthusiast of your work and the way you share it, enriched with your detailed explanations and your amazing eloquence. After watching your latest conservation project, “Vows”, I noticed that, for the first time, you did not apply the resin isolation layer before retouching. Am I missing something?

I did notice the Danish flag, in the painting. Do you know what it stands for, due to being on the coat of arms, or if I can find out somehow? Then, what should I look for?😅
