  • A pair of 400-year-old portraits were separated for nearly two centuries, and are now held in two different collections: The Barber Institute of Fine Arts and the Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth.
    Larry Keith, the Head of Conservation, meets Alice Martin from Chatsworth House to discuss how the conservation team conserved these two marriage portraits by Frans Hals, bringing them together for 'The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Frans Hals'.

    I love these “Behind the Scenes” videos with the Conservation department. It was great fun to hear Ms. Martin and Mr. Keith talk so animatedly about the portraits. And I learned a new term (“pendant hang”). Awesome! Sending my regards from the United States.

    I love portraiture for their human presence and the companion portraits' ability to find each other again, life continues long after the sitters have passed...

    Ooo. I do hope there are a number of videos showing the conservation process in loads of detail. Thank you for this video. It is fascinating to learn more about paintings like this and be ‘invited in’ to the workshops.

    I, personally, don't think that the significance of two panels from one board,
    for marriage portraits, would have escaped the notice of Frans Hals.
    to me, that was no accident.

    I thought the hands were beautifully portrayed down to nail ridges on his and signs of work in hers

      What always fascinates me is historically how women kept their fingernails short - from Botticelli's ladies, to court portraits of Queen Elizabeth 1, to 18th century allegorical figures, to John Singer Sargent's society women. No long nails.

    As these portraits obviously should be together will they continue to live a life together? Going forward
