AMBROGIO LORENZETTI | Saint John the Baptist

The following condition report has been provided by Karen Thomas of Thomas Art Conservation LLC., 336 West 37th Street, Suite 830, New York, NY 10018, 212-564-4024, info@thomasartconservation.com, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. This painting has been recently restored and is in very good, sound condition. Many of the details and the vibrantly colored pigments are well preserved. Retouching is found in the beard, along the right and left edges of the garment and throughout the hill. The recessed punched decorations in the outer portions have been regilded but the gilding in the background is comparatively untouched. The panel has a barely noticeable convex warp. The painting needs no treatment and can be hung in its current state.
