The Conservation of The Assassination of Archimedes

In December, Baumgartner went to work on The Assassination of Archimedes. The painting was done on paper and mounted to a wood panel that had seen better days, and the piece was covered in a dark varnish.

The Damage

Aside from the painting being dirty, the effects of time on the wood it was glued to were apparent. As the humidity had gone through changes, so had the wood, causing waves, ripples, and tears.
