Ingenious Scheme of a Restorsr Of
Damaged Masterpieces.


Damaged Masterpieces.
An instance of the ingenuity exer-
cised by restorers of damaged master
pieces of painting is afforded by the
rescue of famous painting now own
ed by the widow of the late John Hay.
secretary of state.
Mr.. Hay had Madonna by Botttcel-
Ii which was painted on a wooden
panel at least 400 years ago. The
wood had begun to crack, and it was
feared that the painting would be
ruined, but a restorer was found VINO
said he could save it
The first step was to paste thin strips
of tissue paper on the face OF the pic
ture, pressing the paper into the UNI
even surface of the paint. Layers We're
added until thick body of paper con-
eealed the picture.
Then the picture was turned over,
and the restorer began to sandpaper
the board away. After many months
of careful work he had all the wood
removed, and nothing but the paint adj
hered to the paper. A piece of linen
canvas was then glued to the paint.
and the work Of removing the paper
from the front of the picture was sun-
dertaken. 1t required nearly year to
complete the work, but when it was
done the painting was left in shape to
last another four centuries.-ChicagO
