Through October 26th, paintings from the Kress Collection will be on view in the Widener Gallery at Trinity College.
“Into the Light” features Italian, British, and American Old Master pictures. Four of these recently underwent conservation treatment. The exhibit explains these processes, showing before-and-after images; without the “before” image, the areas of distress and damage would be invisible to the untrained eye.
The art work includes landscapes, portraits, and religious panels. Historic pigments and the associated raw materials are displayed (pictured).
The gallery, inside Austin Arts Center, is open 1-6 p.m. every day except for Sundays.
