Restaurierung eines Riesenholzschnitts aus der Werkstatt Lucas Cranach

Der fast lebensgroße Riesenholzschnitt Jan Hus aus der Werkstatt von Lukas Cranach d. J. (um 1560) im Besitz des Stadt- und Bergbaumuseums Freiberg wurde mit Fördergeldern der Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung im Zuge einer Masterarbeit instandgesetzt (Gesamtdauer des Projekts: November 2018–November 2019).

This MA thesis project was carried out by Selina Dieter in 2019 at the Academy’s Paper Conservation Study Program. It focused on diminishing water stains along the edges of an aquatint print by the artist Keith Haring (1958–1990).
