Recently the restoration of the main Altarpiece in the
Frari Church in Venice has been completed and we can now admire this fabulous
masterpiece by Titian, representing the
Assumption of the Virgin Mary, in its outstanding beauty.
This painting on a
wooden panel, the surface of which is of about 28 square meters,
needed to be cleaned and the wood had to be recovered from the damage caused by a 1900’s organ that had been placed right behind it.
The four year long restoration of this work of art has been financed by the
Save Venice fund, one of the most relevant foundations that are active to safeguard the destiny of Venice and of its art. Quite a few people and institutions have been involved in some way in the restoration: the
Friars themselves as well as all the Parish, the director of the
Accademia Galleries, in charge of supervising the work, the
Patriarchate of Venice…
Come to Venice and discover with us the
vibrant colors of this great painting and
those unknown details that have come to light during the restoration. Ciao!
