Art and Artists


Artists: Henri Matisse

This artist, skilled in many media, may have been a "wild beast" (fauve) of a painter, but his domestic and political life was relatively stable and tame. An excellent on-line biography with examples of his work can be found at:

Art Issues: Restoration: The Last Supper

It seems only fitting that restorer Pinan Brambilla enlisted the help of modern science and technology in restoring The Last Supper. Leonardo's legacy as one of history's rare true masters of both art and science lives on in preservation efforts. The Sistine Chapel website listed below provides on-line examples of the visual impact of cleaning and restoration:
