Unveiling Monet's Waterlilies: Episode 1 - What is Conservation?

One of the most cherished paintings at the Portland Art Museum (PAM) is getting a long-awaited conservation treatment. Claude Monet’s Waterlilies (1914-15) is the cornerstone of the Museum’s strong Impressionist collection and has been loved by visitors for decades. Thanks to a generous grant from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project, not only will this iconic painting be restored, the community can follow along in a series of videos and programs with Charlotte Ameringer, Portland Art Museum Conservator.

Great video. There is something so captivating about Monet's waterlilies. I always find it fascinating hearing about how conservators restore paintings and like you say give them back their voice. A job that does not get enough appreciation. Looking forward to the next episodes.
