Master restorer nears completion on Rubens cartoons
Peter Paul Rubens cartoons at the Ringling Museum undergo a major conservation led by Edward O. Korany and his wife as they near the half finishing point in a project funded by Florida worth 16000 dollars for Abraham Receiving Bread and Wine and 8000 each for The Israelites The Fathers of the Church and The Four Evangelists. The work includes varnish removal and careful retouching with wax and resin sealing to protect the 17th century colors. Korany, a 50-year veteran restorer, began three years ago and plans to finish next winter before returning to New York and Europe.
