Restoration report and photographic documentation related to the intervention on the painting Virgin Concept Among Saints by Jerome of Cotignola.
Facilitated description
The work "Virgin Concept among saints" by Girolamo da Cotignola is a painting on panel of 1513 preserved at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
Today she is known as "Immaculate Madonna and Eternal Father in Glory with Saints Augustine, Catherine of Alexandria, Jerome, Anna (?) and Constantius II" or "Immaculate Conception and God the Father in Glory with Saint Augustine, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Saint Jerome, Saint Anne (?) and Constantius II".
Restorer Pinin Brambilla Barcilon restored the work in 1984.
The painting was in poor condition, with upheavals of the pictorial film caused by transport (transfer of a painting from an old support to a new one) from table to canvas and moisture.
The upheavals were of two types: bubbles all over the surface and small drops of color in the sky.
After a consolidation (the operation that makes the surfaces more stable) prior to the museum, the painting was transferred to the Brambilla studio.
The restorer has integrated the loss of color with paint.
