Grants support training opportunities for future conservators |
|

Foundation grants totaling $630,000 are helping to conserve two panel paintings of extraordinary artistic and historic significance: The Mystic Lamb of 1432 by Hubert and Jan van Eyck (also known as the Ghent Altarpiece) and Giorgio Vasari's The Last Supper of 1546, not seen publicly since it was damaged in the Florence flood of 1966. Both projects provide unparalleled opportunities for international experts to train younger conservators, ensuring a transfer of skills to the next generation of panel specialists.

Many readers of our e-newsletter have probably worked with senior program officer Nancy Micklewright. We congratulate Nancy as she takes on an exciting new opportunity at the Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries where she will be the Head of Scholarly Programs and Publications. She was a valued member of the Foundation staff for the past eight years and, at one time or another, had a hand in almost all of our grant making activities. We thank her for her many contributions to the Getty and look forward to working with her in her new position.
