Descubriendo a Caravaggio
Book compiling the technical study and details of the restoration process of ; Saint Catherine of Alexandria' by Caravaggio. 0/0La Santa Catalina de Caravaggio es, no hace falta recordarlo, una de las obras maestras absolutas de la colección del Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. Pintada, como atestigua Bellori, para el primer mecenasdel artista, el cardenal Francesco Maria del Monte, la obra encarna el tránsito de Caravaggio desde su lirismo temprano hacia una nueva monumentalidad. La figura aislada de la santa, cercana al tamaño natural, aparece fuera de cualquier contexto narrativo. La belleza carnal de la mujer, su mirada directa, su pose casual como entre bastidores ponen en cuestión las convenciones de la iconografía sacra. Como observó Bernard Berenson, que vio la pintura en Lugano, más que una santa Catalina parece el retrato de una modelo que posa para un cuadro de santa Catalina.00Exhibition: Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, Madrid, Spain (17.12.2018 - 26.05.2019).

Deconstructing Olduvai: A Taphonomic Study of the Bed I Sites
The Olduvai Bed I archaeological sites have been at the epicenter of the debate on how early humans behaved. This book presents a new analytical approach that has produced unexpected results: the association of stone tools and faunal remains at most Olduvai Bed I sites is accidental and not related to hominid behavior. This revolutionary analysis shows that current models of reconstruction of human behavior are wrong.

Conservation of Modern Oil Paintings
Artists’ oil paints have become increasingly complex and diverse in the 20th Century, applied by artists in a variety of ways. This has led to a number of issues that pose increasing difficulties to conservators and collection keepers. A deeper knowledge of the artists’ intent as well as processes associated with material changes in paintings is important to conservation, which is almost always a compromise between material preservation and aesthetics. This volume represents 46 peer-reviewed papers presented at the Conference of Modern Oil Paints held in Amsterdam in 2018. The book contains a compilation of articles on oil paints and paintings in the 20th Century, partly presenting the o...
Conserving Canvas
The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019, Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witn...
