⚜️ Masterpieces from the Duinen Abbey are being restored by IPARC ⚜️
The 17 panels immortalize the portraits of counts and countesses of Flanders to whom the Duinen Abbey owes much since its origin in the 12th century. The earliest panels date from the 15th century, and the series continues uninterrupted through the 18th century. Among those portrayed are Abbot Johannes Crabbe and Maria of Burgundy, key figures in the 15th century.
There are very few examples in the Low Countries of such an extensive set of grisaille (gray-toned) paintings. The restoration is being carried out in close consultation with the members of the Masterpieces Council.
More explanation about the conservation coming soon 👀👀👀
