La Salle University (La Salle University Art Museum)

The La Salle University Art Museum will treat Landscape with Pilgrims at a Grotto, a 1620 painting by Joos de Momper. The oil-on-canvas work will be given an overall consolidation treatment to arrest the steady deterioration and paint loss. A paintings conservator will consolidate the areas of flaking paint and inpaint lost areas; reline the painting; remove old repaints, grime, and deteriorating varnish; and apply fresh varnish. This painting is the focal point of the Renaissance Room at the museum, and treatment will allow the museum to continue to interpret this important work of art.
