Facilitated description
Bernardino Luini’s Coronation of Thorns is a mural painting from 1522 in the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan.
Restorer Pinin Brambilla Barcilon restored the work in 2009 under the direction of Mariolina Olivari.
The aim of the restoration was to secure the painting and remove materials that were not suitable for preservation.
Larger gaps (missing parts) have been integrated (reconstruction of the material or color of missing parts) to hatch (thin and small lines of color that from a distance recompose the shape of the missing part).
The smaller gaps (missing parts) were painted with watercolor veils (transparent layer of color).
