Conserving Lithuanian Heritage: The Shepherd and The Sower Bas Reliefs by Vytautas Jonynas
Art conservation is a delicate and intricate process that aims to protect and restore artworks for future generations to enjoy. Among the many art forms, sculptures often present unique challenges due to their three-dimensional nature and the variety of materials used. Such is the case with the restoration of "The Shepherd" and "The Sower," two exquisite bas-reliefs by renowned Lithuanian artist Vytautas Jonynas. These reliefs, originally installed in the summer home of Joseph and Alexandra Kazickas in East Hampton, NY, hold not only artistic significance but also historical value.
