This volume presents the proceedings of an international symposium
organized by the Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty
Museum. The first conference of its kind in 20 years, the symposium
assembled an international group of conservators of painted panels
and gave them the opportunity to discuss their philosophies and
share their working methods.
Illustrated in color throughout, this volume presents 31 papers
grouped into four topic areas: "Wood Science and Technology," "History
of Panel-Manufacturing Techniques," "History of the Structural Conservation
of Panel Paintings," and "Current Approaches to the Structural Conservation
of Panel Paintings."
Contributors to the volume include David Bomford, senior restorer
of paintings, National Gallery, London; R. Bruce Hoadley, professor,
Wood Science and Technology, University of Massachusetts at Amherst;
Ian McClure, director, Hamilton Kerr Institute, Cambridge, United
Kingdom; Jørgen Wadum, chief conservator, Mauritshuis, The
Hague; and Ciro Castelli, restorer, Opficio delle Pietre Dure e
