Who was Bono da Ferrara? What hidden ‘quirks’ lie beneath the surface of his only known panel painting – ‘Saint Jerome in a Landscape’?
Join Conservator Jill Dunkerton, Curator Laura Llewellyn, Senior Research Lead Susanna Avery-Quash and Scientist Catherine Higgitt as they discuss the painting’s recent conservation treatment.
Find out how a 19th-century restoration hid some of the painting’s original details. From pink trees to shimmering golden clouds, we examine the fantastical characteristics of Ferrarese art and uncover elements of Bono da Ferrara’s work only recently made visible again.
