When I visited the Pushkin Palace, now known as Catherine Palace, in March 1976 it was partly restored. It was amazing to see the difference between the old and the new.

A 'raw' scan of the ambrotype before I try some simple restoration. I'm not going to touch the front (emulsion) side, but simply want to remove the paper and re-black the reverse.

A restoration I did to for my friend Areti. First pic is the listing pic on ebay, that's how she got them, but taadaa I made them look all new again! Megara's hair have two different styles of curls and Pocahontas has handmade necklace and added belt (made by me). Well, I'm proud!
A friend asked me to do a restoration on a 70 year old photo he had of his grandfather. The original was about 2x3 inches. I would like to do better, but I don't think that there are any more details to bring out, and if anything over sharpened.
Temporarily held in position is a new trim support section made out of left overs from the restoration of YYB 118. Work has been going on making these up during the winter of 2016-17 but they will not be fitted permanantly until various other panel repairs are done. They will replace wooden sections that date back to the 1989 restoration. They were only secured at each end and therefore slightly flexible. This was done to avoid damaging the interior trim but this new restoration will include interior refurbishment and so the new section will be secured as originally, along their length from the inside of the panel.

My favorite sign in RMNP which will be buried with snow when I'm there in May.
And hopefully this is the last time I feel the need to say this.....sorry for not visiting your streams as it's been a busy last couple of months for me. I will slowly try to catch back up with those who have shown an interest in my photography.

Phonsavan, Laos - General Gay Law, 62, a retired Pathet Lao general, shows a 30 year old bomb crater. Bombs dropped by American B-52 bombers during the 1964-1973 'Secret War' still scar the countryside in this province. Laos has the dubious distinction of being the most bombed country in the history of warfare.
History
Restoration House was originally two medieval buildings (1454 and 1502–22) with a space between.
They were joined together in 1640-1660 (tree ring data from roof) by inserting a third building between the two, to create a larger house.
The first owner of the completed house was Henry Clerke, a lawyer and Rochester MP. Clerke caused further works in 1670, the refacing of the entrance facade, the Great Staircase and other internal works.
The house was then bought by William Bockenham. It was owned by Stephen T. Aveling in the late 19th century, and he wrote a history of the house which was published in Vol. 15 of "Archaeologia Cantiana".
The house was purchased for £270,000[7] by the English entertainer Rod Hull, in 1986, to save it from being turned into a car park; and he then spent another £500,000 restoring it.
It was taken by the Receiver in 1994 to cover an unpaid tax bill.
The current owners over the past decade have uncovered decoration schemes from the mid 17th century, which reveal the fashionable taste of the period, much influenced by the fashions on the continent.
Charles Dickens
According to the biographer John Forster, the novelist Charles Dickens, who lived nearby, used Restoration House as a model for Miss Havisham's Satis House in Great Expectations; the name "Satis House" belongs to the house where Rochester MP, Sir Richard Watts, entertained Queen Elizabeth I - it is now the administrative office of King's School, Rochester.

The great pyramid of Djozer in Memphis being restored. This is the site of the original Pyramids in Egypt from 2650 BC. The king was seen as the living embodiment of the God Horus.
For most of our time in Egypt there was a heat haze and the sky was generally Grey, so sepia, black & white and split toning seem to be the only options for these photos...
Additional crews have been brought in to support restoration our efforts; we have nearly 500 people in the field working around the clock.

The backfilling of the MacArthur Ditch is part of the larger Kissimmee River Restoration project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project will eliminate an artificial drainage feature in the floodplain that was created more than 50 years ago by the MacArthur family to protect their property from flooding.
A small borrow canal resulting from the construction of a levee around this property has grown to almost 3 miles in length and up to 60 feet wide as a result of the reintroduction of flow to the Phase I restoration area in 2001. This dated feature drains the floodplain quickly while it continues to grow in length and width. If not backfilled, it would decrease the inundation depth and duration of water in the floodplain wetlands and impact the quality of fish and wildlife habitat.
A big thank you to Gerard Caffrey for allowing me to share my restoration of this photographer of his grandfather Martin O’Brien, taken during World War 1.
Martin O’Brien is on the left of the photograph.
Martin was a private in the 9th Battalion of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers (Reg. No: 8794). He was killed in action on the Somme in the battle for the village of Ginchy, Flanders on the 9th of September 1916. Martin was born in Donnybrook and at the time of his death he was 34 years old married with children.
The photograph is believed to have been taken shortly before his death. At first glance the men appear to be posed in a comfortable environment note the furniture, but look more closely and you can see the rough ground beneath their feet.

Our staff are out and about, monitoring restoration projects to track how these efforts are responding to climate change. Nature can help enhance community resilience to the impacts of climate change by acting as buffers for water and waves.
La escuela de Atenas es una de las pinturas más destacadas del artista Rafael Sanzio.1 Fue hecha en boceto entre 1509 y 1510 y pintada entre 1510 y 1512 como parte de una comisión para decorar con frescos las habitaciones que hoy en día son conocidas como las estancias de Rafael, ubicadas en el Palacio Apostólico de la Ciudad del Vaticano. La Stanza della Segnatura ( La Sala de La Signatura ) fue la primera en ser decorada, y La escuela de Atenas la segunda pintura en ser finalizada, tras La disputa del Sacramento.
Su base es de 7,70 m y su altura de 5,00 m. Está situada frente a la Disputa del Sacramento. Representa la filosofía a través de una escena en la que se narra una sesión entre los filósofos clásicos. En esta obra, Rafael adapta el espacio a las leyes de la superficie. Ordena las figuras de izquierda a derecha. La perspectiva queda rota por los muros laterales sobresalientes.2
Debido a que estaría ubicada sobre la sección de filosofía del papa Julio II, La escuela de Atenas muestra a los filósofos, científicos y matemáticos más importantes de la época clásica. Los filósofos se encuentran en una arquitectura clásica, abovedada como unas termas. En unos nichos se ven figuras gigantescas de los dioses Apolo y Atenea. Esta arquitectura recuerda el proyecto de la basílica de San Pedro elaborado por Bramante. Platón y Aristóteles, que durante toda la Edad Media estuvieron considerados como los principales representantes de la filosofía antigua,2 se encuentran en el centro de la composición, alrededor del punto de fuga. Platón está sosteniendo el Timeo. Aristóteles sostiene un ejemplar de su Ética a Nicómaco. Ambos debaten sobre la búsqueda de la Verdad y hacen gestos que se corresponden a sus intereses en la filosofía: Platón está señalando el cielo, simbolizando el idealismo dualista racionalista que es su pensamiento; mientras que Aristóteles, la tierra, haciendo referencia a su realismo sustancial racional teleológico.
En otros personajes se ha identificado a distintos filósofos de la Antigüedad, puestos sobre dos niveles, separados de una escalinata. A la izquierda puede reconocerse la figura de perfil de Sócrates.2
A la izquierda, se encuentra un gran bloque de piedra cuyo significado puede estar conectado con la Primera epístola de Pedro; simboliza a Cristo, la "piedra angular". El hombre ubicado sobre el bloque es Heráclito, con los rasgos de Miguel Ángel. Este personaje no estaba en el esbozo o cartón de este fresco, que se conserva en la Biblioteca Ambrosiana de Milán. Se retrata en esta figura a Miguel Ángel, como se ve en el rostro, que es el del pintor florentino ligeramente mejorado, además de en las características stivali que calza: eran unas botas de montar que el pintor florentino no solía quitarse; está escribiendo uno de sus sonetos. En 1510, Rafael vio el trabajo de Miguel Ángel en la bóveda de la Capilla Sixtina, tras esto lo agregó en su pintura como señal de respeto hacia el artista. Al tiempo, esta figura evita un gran vacío en esa parte del fresco.
El autorretrato de Rafael está ubicado a la derecha del cuadro, el joven de cabello marrón que observa al espectador, tocando con un sombrero redondo de color azul; a su lado, Perugino con idéntico sombrero pero en blanco. A la izquierda de la pintura se encuentra Hipatia de Alejandría (pintada como Margherita Luti o Francesco Maria I della Rovere), vestida en blanco, y observando al espectador.
Vatican Museums
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
vte
The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani; Latin: Musea Vaticana) are Christian and art museums located within the city boundaries of the Vatican City. They display works from the immense collection amassed by popes throughout the centuries including several of the most renowned Roman sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. The museums contain roughly 70,000 works, of which 20,000 are on display,[3] and currently employ 640 people who work in 40 different administrative, scholarly, and restoration departments.[4]
Pope Julius II founded the museums in the early 16th century.[5] The Sistine Chapel, with its ceiling decorated by Michelangelo and the Stanze di Raffaello decorated by Raphael, are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums. In 2017, they were visited by 6 million people, which combined makes it the 4th most visited art museum in the world.[6][7]
There are 54 galleries, or sale, in total,[citation needed] with the Sistine Chapel, notably, being the very last sala within the Museum. It is one of the largest museums in the world.
In 2017, the Museum's official website and social media presence was completely redone, in accord with current standards and appearances for modern websites.[8]
History
The Vatican Museums trace their origin to one marble sculpture, purchased in the 16th century: Laocoön and His Sons was discovered on 14 January 1506, in a vineyard near the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Pope Julius II sent Giuliano da Sangallo and Michelangelo Buonarroti, who were working at the Vatican, to examine the discovery. On their recommendation, the pope immediately purchased the sculpture from the vineyard owner. The pope put the sculpture, which depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his two sons being attacked by giant serpents, on public display at the Vatican exactly one month after its discovery.
Benedict XIV founded the Museum Christianum, and some of the Vatican collections formed the Lateran Museum, which Pius IX founded by decree in 1854.[9]
The Museums celebrated their 500th anniversary in October 2006 by permanently opening the excavations of a Vatican Hill necropolis to the public.[10]
On 1 January 2017, Barbara Jatta became the Director of the Vatican Museums, replacing Antonio Paolucci who had been director since 2007.
Pinacoteca Vaticana
The art gallery was housed in the Borgia Apartment until Pope Pius XI ordered construction of a proper building. The new building, designed by Luca Beltrami, was inaugurated on 27 October 1932.[13] The museum has paintings including:
•Giotto's Stefaneschi Triptych
•Olivuccio di Ciccarello, Opere di Misericordia
•Raphael's Madonna of Foligno, Oddi Altarpiece and Transfiguration
•Leonardo da Vinci's St. Jerome in the Wilderness
•Caravaggio's Entombment
•Perugino's Madonna and Child with Saints and San Francesco al Prato Resurrection
•Filippo Lippi's Marsuppini Coronation
•Jan Matejko's Sobieski at Vienna
Collection of Modern Religious Art
The Collection of Modern Religious Art was added in 1973 and houses paintings and sculptures from artists like Carlo Carrà, Giorgio de Chirico, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Salvador Dalí, and Pablo Picasso.[14]
Sculpture museums
The group of museums includes several sculpture museums surrounding the Cortile del Belvedere. These are the Gregoriano Profano Museum, with classical sculpture, and others as below:
Museo Pio-Clementino
A Roman naval bireme depicted in a relief from the Temple of Fortuna Primigenia in Praeneste (Palestrina),[15] constructed c. 120 BC;[16] exhibited in the Pius-Clementine Museum (Museo Pio-Clementino) of the Vatican.
The museum takes its name from two popes; Clement XIV, who established the museum, and Pius VI, the pope who brought the museum to completion. Clement XIV came up with the idea of creating a new museum in Innocent VIII's Belvedere Palace and started the refurbishment work.[17]
Pope Clement XIV founded the Pio-Clementino museum in 1771, and originally it contained the Renaissance and antique works. The museum and collection were enlarged by Clement's successor Pius VI. Today, the museum houses works of Greek and Roman sculpture. Some notable galleries are:
•Greek Cross Gallery: (Sala a Croce Greca): with the porphyri sarcophagi of Constance and Saint Helen, daughter and mother of Constantine the Great.
•Sala Rotonda: shaped like a miniature Pantheon, the room has impressive ancient mosaics on the floors, and ancient statues lining the perimeter, including a gilded bronze statue of Hercules.
•Gallery of the Statues (Galleria delle Statue): as its name implies, holds various important statues, including Sleeping Ariadne and the bust of Menander. It also contains the Barberini Candelabra.
•Gallery of the Busts (Galleria dei Busti): Many ancient busts are displayed.
•Cabinet of the Masks (Gabinetto delle Maschere): The name comes from the mosaic on the floor of the gallery, found in Villa Adriana, which shows ancient theater masks. Statues are displayed along the walls, including the Three Graces.
•Sala delle Muse: Houses the statue group of Apollo and the nine muses, uncovered in a Roman villa near Tivoli in 1774, as well as statues by important ancient Greek or Roman sculptors. The centerpiece is the Belvedere Torso, revered by Michelangelo and other Renaissance men.[18]
•Sala degli Animali: So named because of the many ancient statues of animals.
Museo Chiaramonti
This museum was founded in the early 19th century by Pope Pius VII, whose surname before his election as pope was Chiaramonti. The museum consists of a large arched gallery in which are exhibited several statues, sarcophagi and friezes. The New Wing, Braccio Nuovo, built by Raffaele Stern, houses statues including the Augustus of Prima Porta, the Doryphoros, and The River Nile. The Galeria Lapidaria forms part of the Museo Chiaramonti, and contains over 3,000 stone tablets and inscriptions. It is accessible only with special permission, usually for the purpose of academic study.
Museo Gregoriano Etrusco[edit]
Founded by Pope Gregory XVI in 1836, this museum has eight galleries and houses important Etruscan pieces, coming from archaeological excavations.[19] The pieces include: vases, sarcophagus, bronzes and the Guglielmi Collection.
Museo Gregoriano Egiziano
This museum houses a large collection of artifacts from Ancient Egypt.[20] Such material includes papyruses, the Grassi Collection, animal mummies, and reproductions of the Book of the Dead.[21]
History
The Museo Gregoriano Egiziano was inaugurated on 2 February 1839 to commemorate the anniversary of Gregory XVI's accession to the papacy. The creation of the Museo Gregoriano Egiziano was particularly close to the pope's heart as he believed the understanding of ancient Egyptian civilisation was vital in terms of its scientific importance as well as its value in understanding the Old Testament. This feeling was expressed in a paper by the museum's first curator, the physiologist and Barnabite, Father Luigi Maria Ungarelli.[17]
Vatican Historical Museum
The Vatican Historical Museum (Italian: Museo storico vaticano) was founded in 1973 at the behest of Pope Paul VI,[22] and was initially hosted in environments under the Square Garden. In 1987, it moved to the main floor of the Apostolic Palace of the Lateran where it opened in March 1991.
The Vatican Historical Museum has a unique collection of portraits of the Popes from the 16th century to date, the memorable items of the Papal Military Corps of the 16–17th centuries and old religious paraphernalia related to rituals of the papacy. Also on display on the lower floor are the papamobili (Popemobiles); carriages and motorcars of Popes and Cardinals, including the first cars used by Popes.[23]
